The RAMSHIELD® Transition provides a smooth, snag-free connection between steel guardrail barriers and rigid barriers, such as at bridge parapets. The RAMSHIELD® Transition gradually increases the stiffness of the safety barrier system reducing the potential for vehicle pocketing. The RAMSHIELD® Transition achieves a controlled redirection of errant vehicles by releasing the thrie-beam guardrail from the post at an optimal load to retain rail height, limit dynamic deflection and allow the post to collapse without tripping the vehicle.
