What Should Drivers Know About Guardrails?
Guardrails are designed to help reduce the consequences of vehicles leaving the roadway. They can redirect a vehicle away from hazards such as steep slopes, trees, or other fixed objects. However, striking a guardrail can still result in significant vehicle damage and injuries.
Drivers should maintain a safe speed and remain attentive when traveling on roads with curves, intersections, or changing roadway conditions. Reduced visibility, poor weather, and distractions can make it harder to stay within a lane. Keeping both hands available for steering and avoiding activities that take attention away from driving can improve vehicle control.
If a vehicle begins to leave the roadway, drivers should avoid sudden steering movements that could make the vehicle unstable. Smooth corrections and controlled braking may help the driver regain control. Seat belts also provide important protection during crashes by helping keep occupants properly positioned inside the vehicle.
