Chapter 8 Barriers: Road Safety Barriers & Pedestrian Barriers
Whatever your budget, you will find the perfect Chapter 8 barrier for your needs, while still keeping within official regulations. While our highly visible barriers are ideal for use outside in all weather conditions, we have bariers suitable for pedestrian and traffic control use, they can also be used inside if needed. Our selection of Chapter 8 fencing means that you should have no difficulty finding just what you need.
What Are Chapter 8 Safety Barriers?
Chapter 8 Plastic Barriers are temporary safety barriers used primarily around roadworks and construction areas to control traffic flow and safeguard both the public and workers.
They are named after Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, which outlines requirements for temporary traffic control measures on UK highways. Constructed with high-visibility materials and often incorporating reflective strips, these barriers offer a clear visual warning to drivers and are designed to be highly portable, making them easy to deploy and reposition as needed.
Why Choose Our Chapter 8 Plastic Barrier Systems?
At Barriers Direct, we supply high-quality Chapter 8 safety barriers that meet or exceed industry standards. Our range includes barriers suitable for various types of temporary works, from light-duty pedestrian control to robust vehicle separation. Whether you need to manage traffic around a minor repair or secure a large construction zone, our barriers are built to withstand the demands of outdoor environments and heavy-duty applications.
So, If you are looking for Chapter 8 traffic management barriers then look no further. We sell designs that are clearly visible in all weather conditions. Our barriers are made from durable plastics that make them able to withstand the elements. They are also very easy to set up and just as easy to dismantle when needed. We also stock Chapter 8 barrier designs with heavy bases for added sturdiness. Our road rock design passes class B wind speeds thanks to a heavy base that is versatile as well as reliable. Our strong fence barrier design also incorporates an anti-climb fence for added security.
Here at Barriers Direct, we also sell a wide selection of Q signs made from very strong recycled polypropylene. With no metal parts, they are ideal for use outside in all weather conditions. They are also designed to be able to resist strong winds. We also sell Q-signs that are made from galvanised steel for maximum life. Our Q signs are highly visible, making them suitable even in poor weather conditions. They come with a selection of road signs, helping keep pedestrians and drivers safe.
Our Chapter 8 pedestrian barriers are ideal for guiding and protecting pedestrians and drivers in the vicinity of road works and similar. All of our designs require little to no maintenance and are easy to use.
