They can come as a unit panel, commonly the M1 full height panel or M2 sight gap panel, which bolts to its neighbouring panel through its frame. It can also come as a panel and post system-this is known as Optirail but is sometimes referred to as Visirail.The primary use of pedestrian guardrail is to guide pedestrians to safer crossing points and splitter islands. They can be found all across the country at the sides of roads creating a clear segregation between the road and footpath.Pedestrian guardrail is a very robust product that can also be effective in off-highway environments. Alpha Rail has been involved in projects where our pedestrian guardrail is used on-site to separate internal walkways from places where there may be vehicles such as forklifts and lorries offloading. They can also be adapted to go around the perimeter of sports pitches, to secure the pitch and create a barrier for the spectators-these barriers have longer legs to ensure they are sturdy as they are installed into softer ground.
