What is the purpose of safety barriers at road edges and central reservations?

Correct answer

Protect against vehicles leaving the road.

Protect against vehicles leaving the road. They are vehicle restraint systems and do not guarantee preventing every departure or injury. Reflective devices attached to them have a separate guiding function. A safety barrier must not be confused with a sign ordering a manoeuvre or regulating priority.
