Steel Pedestrian Guardrail System – High Visibility Sight-Angled Panels (V2 / V4 / V8)
Suitable for:
Optirail™ High Visibility Pedestrian Guardrail offers a highly engineered roadside safety solution, specifically designed to enhance pedestrian visibility for drivers while guiding foot traffic to safe crossing points. Available in three distinct panel types—V2, V4 and V8—the system features staggered bar infills set at optimised sight angles suited to different traffic conditions.
V2 panels provide a narrow 2.5°–5° sight line ideal for straight roads at moderate to high speeds.
V4 panels allow a wider 5°–14° angle for lower-speed routes.
V8 panels are suited to tight curves under 15 m radius with enhanced over-14° visibility.
Optirail is fabricated from durable steel, supplied with a galvanised or optional powder-coated finish in standard black, green, or custom colours. Each unit conforms to BS 7818 and can be manufactured to match gradients or site curvature. Gates are also available for integrated access points.
