The river guardrail itself is a type of guardrail built on the river, which is helpful for protecting the overall environment of the river and the riverbed of the river. It also has the function of blocking people, vehicles, and animals from falling into the water and preventing drowning.
There are different opinions on the height of river guardrails, and it is set based on the height of bridges in the river. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China also has strict regulations for such heights. It is not that the higher the construction of river guardrails, the better. They are built at a certain height, and only when the construction meets the height of the bridge and plays a significant role, the height that needs to be set.
River guardrails are originally set up to prevent pedestrians from falling, regardless of whether there is a river or not. Imagine a highway. The height of river guardrails varies depending on the type of bridge and the speed of the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, even children and adults would not fall from this height. Of course, if there is a risk of death or suicide, there is no way to build river guardrails to the stratosphere.
In addition, if the river guardrail is too high, it is also dangerous. When a person is sitting in a car, their line of sight is generally at a height of 1.2 meters. If the river guardrail is higher than this height, in the event of an impact, the head of the person in the car will directly hit the structure of the river guardrail, increasing the probability of injury or death. The river guardrail is lower than the line of sight when turning, which helps the driver to see the situation outside the road clearly and prevent accidents. Finally, it is important to drive in a standardized manner and avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or exceeding the speed limit. Generally, you will not hit the guardrail!
The issue of the height of river guardrails is a joint research topic among manufacturers and experts. Only by continuously improving its height can its basic performance be better exerted. The use and corresponding role of river guardrails are becoming increasingly important and have become an indispensable main factor.
