It keeps vehicles in the roadway and prevents it from colliding with obstacles like boulders, signs, trees, walls. They are installed in medians of the divided highway to stop errant vehicles from entering. If these barriers are stuck from either of the side then they are called median barriers. It protects vulnerable areas like pedestrian zones, schoolyards, fuel tanks. They are designed to reduce injury to the vehicle occupants. They are installed in those areas that are more Hazard prone. But it is more preferable to relocate and modify the Hazard instead of shielding it with the barrier. To ensure the effectiveness of the barrier they undergo stimulated and crash testing before being approved for use. The testing program is designed to define the performance limit of the barrier and protect the road users.
