PORTABLE BARRIERS WITH HALOGEN LIGHTING OR ELECTRONIC FLASHING EQUIPMENT ARE AVAILABLE TO DELINEATE CONSTRUCTION SITES ON THE ROADWAYS. THESE ARE MORE EASILY PERCEIVED BY MOTORISTS AND GIVE GREATER PROTECTION TO THOSE WORKING ON SITE THAN THE ORDINARY RED AND WHITE STRIPED BARRIERS. THE SO-CALLED SAFETY TRAILERS WITH THEIR FLASHING LIGHT EQUIPMENT CONSIST OF A SINGLE-AXLE TRAILER CHASSIS WITH A 30 TO 50 CM WIDE FRAMEWORK CONSTRUCTED OF U-SECTIONS SURROUNDING AN AREA OF 3.4 M X 2.2 M. THE FRAME HAS REFLECTIVE RED AND WHITE STRIPES, AND ITS TOP SECTION IS FITTED WITH 5 MOUNTINGS FOR HALOGEN LIGHTING OR ELECTRONIC FLASHING LIGHTS. FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES THE FRAMEWORK CAN BE HINGED DOWN AT THE CENTRE. THE TRAILER CHASSIS CAN ALSO BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF WORK TOOLS.
