How Effective are Pedestrian Barriers? Metal or Plastic?

Pedestrian barriers guide and protect pedestrians in areas where they may be at risk from hazards, or in situations requiring crowd control.?Whether to keep people out of dangerous construction sites, off the streets after a crowded event, or away from a dangerous area at the manufacturing plant, barriers can be an effective tool to help keep pedestrians safe.?

Although both plastic and steel pedestrian barriers can offer effective crowd control and security, there are differences between steel and plastic pedestrian barriers. ?

Steel pedestrian barriers can offer enhanced strength, as well as more heavy-duty crowd control.??

Plastic pedestrian barriers are available in a range of highly visible colors and can incorporate reflective tape for increased security and visibility after dark.?Some plastic barriers allow signage to be added for safety, warnings and information.

Plastic barriers serve as an effective visual demarcation to guide pedestrians with the additional benefit of being easy to deploy. Deployment is important to consider when choosing which type of barrier to use. Plastic barriers are easy to set up in emergency situations, as well as to stack and store when the situation is over.?
