Anti-GawkSpeed is but one of a number of factors that contribute to our accident and fatality statistics, the Boylan Team believe that inattention and distraction are also of significant import.
Previously Anti-Gawk screens were installed, primarily to keep the traffic moving, avoiding the driver distraction that a workzone can impart. However there are significant hazard reduction safety benefits to the installation of Anti-Gawk panels with an inherent structural integrity. In a stylish, slimline design with custom ‘Easy Mount’ brackets, the Boylan Team have incorporated durability and strength into their Anti-Gawk screen to provide maximum containment of foreign object flight/penetration.

Anti-Gawk Prevents Disaster In Australian Highway Rock Fall
Date 18/05/2012 Crash barriers are designed to save lives but a deployment of steel barrier and Anti-Gawk on the Nepean Highway at Frankston, Australia, recently safeguarded the Public. A steep retaining wall collapsed, sending tonnes of rock crashing down towards passing traffic on the highway. Thankfully, the Anti-Gawks’ strong construction managed to contain the rock fall, preventing a potential tragedy. The incident was serious enough for southbound lanes to be closed for 24 hours. |
