State Highways, Victoria
Regional Barrier Project
The State Highways in Victoria’s north east are lifelines for rural and regional communities. With long straight sections of road, higher speeds, and vulnerable road users, these routes need robust safety measures to reduce run-off-road and head-on crashes.
Project Challenges
The upgrades required barrier systems that could:
✔️ Protect vehicles on high-speed rural roads
✔️ Reduce risk for vulnerable road users, including motorcyclists
✔️ Integrate with shoulder sealing, rumble strips, and median treatments
✔️ Meet strict compliance and performance standards across multiple sites
Solution and Outcomes
RamShield® Guardrail was installed as the primary roadside safety system, with BIKER-SHIELD™ motorcycle protection barriers and MSKT end terminals for compliant terminations. This integrated solution delivered:
✔️ Better protection for vehicles and motorcyclists on rural highways
✔️ Reduced run-off-road and head-on crash risk
✔️ Durable, low-maintenance barrier systems for multiple sites
✔️ A complete road safety solution as per the Federal Road Safety Program
