Type 3 Guardrails For Highways in Denver, Colorado
Highway guardrail Ty3 has evolved throughout the decade to its W-beam shape we see today. This shape keeps the guardrail Ty3 ridged and strong. When guardrail Ty3 is impacted, it is designed to ricochet a vehicle and protect it from a dangerous area. Guardrail Ty3 is positioned on roads where steep embankments occur, when a vehicle approaches bridges, culverts, signs and many other obstructions.
Guardrail Ty3 is usually galvanized but it also comes in “corten” (which is a rusted look W-beam). Guardrail Ty3 can be installed on wood or metal posts. Most guardrail Ty3 has a block between the post and rail. This gives the guardrail Ty3 the ability for a longer bolt to redirect an impact and to move the post back, out of the way of snow plows. Compared to other guardrails, guardrail Ty3 is less expensive than concrete barriers and it’s easier to repair in Colorado.
What Is a Guardrail?
A guardrail (also called a roadside barrier) is a safety barrier designed to prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway or striking dangerous obstacles, such as steep embankments, fixed objects, drop-offs, or bridge piers. Guardrails absorb and redirect impact energy, helping reduce the severity of crashes and protect both motorists and pedestrians.
Why Guardrails Matter?
Guardrails are vital anywhere there’s a risk of vehicles departing the road or people being exposed to dangerous edges:
✅ Accident Prevention & Safety — They minimize severe crashes by helping keep vehicles on the roadway and away from hazards.
✅ Protection for High-Risk Areas — Ideal for highways, curves, slopes, embankments, and parking lots.
✅ Traffic & Pedestrian Control — Create safe walk paths separate from vehicles or protect vulnerable areas from errant traffic.
