The Self-Righting Verge Post from HERMEQ is a specialised traffic barrier designed for roadside verges, car parks, industrial sites, and traffic management zones. Its key feature is a unique spring-back system that allows the post to return upright following impact, offering a maintenance-free solution for high-risk or high-traffic areas.
Constructed from a high-impact polypropylene blend enhanced with elastomer, this traffic verge post offers excellent resistance to impact, UV exposure and freezing temperatures. It meets UK visibility standards through class 1 or class 2 reflective panel options and includes the maximum legally permitted reflective surface area of 180cm².
Key Features:
- Automatic re-erection after collision – Ensures the post remains functional and visible without human intervention.
- 950mm visible height – Effective deterrent height while maintaining driver line-of-sight.
- Impact-absorbing polymer construction – Reduces the risk of vehicle damage and withstands repeated impacts.
- Full regulatory compliance – Aligns with UK road sign reflectivity and design standards.
- Zero maintenance required – Cuts operational costs and improves roadside safety management.
This traffic barrier solution is particularly suitable for use in areas where vehicles may frequently encroach road margins, such as tight verges, motorway exits, or work zone approaches. Its self-righting mechanism eliminates the need for site visits to replace or reposition knocked-over signage, saving time and resources for highways agencies and contractors alike.
The integrated high-reflectivity panels ensure excellent visibility day or night, making it an ideal choice for applications that prioritise passive driver warnings. These include haulage routes, traffic calming schemes, laybys, and controlled site entrances where durability and compliance are non-negotiable.
