3,500 lei/meter, it also withstands the impact of TIRs

Roller separators could save dozens of lives annually. The system consists of rollers that, in the event of an impact, rotate and push the cars back onto the road. The roller guardrail is currently installed in areas with a high risk of accidents, on DN1, between Braşov and Făgăraş, and DN13, between Braşov and Sighisoara. The system is made to withstand impact with TIRs, say the builders.
“This innovative system consists of pillars, which are inserted one meter deep, in the embankment, at a distance of one meter. Intermediate, between them, another supporting pillar, in which the rollers are placed”, said Sorin Sasu, project manager.
“The car is brought back onto the track, due to the fact that these plastic barrels make it ricochet. The cars have less damage and the impact is not as violent as with the metal parapet”said Tudor Duţu, director of DRDP Braşov.
The authorities’ plan is to install another three kilometers of parapets on the roads in Brasov county. “Until this year, we installed 1,200 linear meters on DN1 and DN13 in Bogăţii forest. On this sector, between Predeal and Cotul Donului, we are installing another 1,700 linear meters”, added the director of DRDP Braşov.
Such systems began to be installed here 5 years ago, at the exit from Bucharest towards Târgovişte and on the E85, nicknamed the “Road of Death”.
