Description

The invention relates to a path protection, shut-off or Traffic guidance device or the like. From mobile, with each other connectable sections that are essentially half circular or triangular to trapezoidal cross own cut and if necessary upwards protruding lattice or railing-shaped tops od. Like. Are provided.

Such a device is from "L'Industria Italiana del Cemento ", volume 3, 1985, pages 206 to 213 from the "BARRIERA CEVIP" attachment known. The sections of this known device consist of concrete and are at ih the edges are all sharp-edged. To the  Elements are also not devices for fastening of lattice or railing-shaped protruding upwards Provided tops. The from L'Industria Italiana del Cemento known sections are on their end faces trained in the opposite direction, whereby in the area of Steps two at each end of each section the lying perforated tabs are provided by a connecting rod with the tabs of an adjacent one Section can be connected.

A traffic control device based on a base part carries a guardrail is from AT-B-3 76 260 known.

One used as a middle partition and roadside barrier bare traffic control device is from AT-B-3 57 195 be knows. This traffic control device is made of concrete with edge protection devices made of steel profiles, whereby Individual elements in the Be placed on a road surface rich of their overlapping ends by an articulated ver bond that as a pivot joint with corresponding to faces is formed, limited movement are interconnected.

GB-A-14 34 925 also relates to a traffic management system device, which is composed of individual sections, the individual sections being sharp-edged are and have a hole on the top in which a traffic sign or the like can be inserted.  

Shut-off devices with a concrete base on which protruding upwards lattice-like or railing-like upper parts are provided are known from CH-A-5 03 844.
