What are the different types of bridge barriers?

1. Concrete barriers: These are made of reinforced concrete and are most commonly used on bridges.

2. Steel barriers: These are made of steel and are strong and durable. They are often used on bridges with heavy traffic.

3. Cable barriers: These are made of steel cables and are designed to catch vehicles and prevent them from falling off the bridge.

4. Guardrail barriers: These are short barriers that are designed to prevent vehicles from crossing the center line on a bridge.

5. Jersey barriers: These are concrete barriers that are used to separate lanes of traffic or to prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway.

6. Crash cushions: These are used at the ends of bridge barriers to absorb the impact of a crash.

7. Barrier systems with reflective material: These are designed to reflect light from vehicle headlights to increase visibility of the barrier at night.
