Collision-safe warning trailers

Euroskilt’s experts have started using collision-safe trailers to alert road users about work on public roads. These trailers have signs to mark the beginning of a roadworks area and are intended to protect workers in roadworks areas along public roads. Visual warnings like this help make works areas extra visible to road users.

The trailer is designed to break up into light pieces on impact, minimising injury to road users that collide with it. The trailer has been tested rigorously and deforms on impact, absorbing the energy of the impact.

The construction also carries equipment that gauges speed and actively alerts road users that enter a roadworks area too quickly. In addition to the basic model, a warning trailer has also been developed for multiple-lane roads.







The design was partly developed in Sweden in collaboration with the Swedish Road Administration, but has been further refined for Norwegian conditions at Euroskilt’s unit for traffic safety products in Stavanger.

The need for better safety along the public road network has increased the focus on passive safety, to the extent where there is even talk of a "passive safety revolution” in Europe.

Euroskilt has been selling traffic-safe sign masts for quite some time now. The focus on developing more collision-safe products has grown as a natural continuation of Euroskilt’s current range.
