Protect Your Facility
Pedestrians and forklifts operate in the same space every day. Without physical separation, near misses and incidents become routine.
Most impacts happen in the same locations. Intersections, crossings, and shared aisles create repeat risk.
Each impact leads to repairs, restricted access, and downtime that affects more than just safety.
Designing Safer Movement in Mixed-Traffic Environments
Planning and Protecting Walkways
Pedestrian routes should follow natural movement through the facility. Clearly defined walkways reduce shortcuts, limit exposure to vehicles, and create predictable pedestrian flow.
Controlling Crossings in Mixed-Traffic Zones
In busy facilities, uncontrolled crossings create repeat risk. Self-closing gates help manage when and where pedestrians cross vehicle routes, reinforcing predictable movement at high-risk points.
Choosing Barriers That Support Traffic Segregation
Once pedestrian routes and vehicle traffic are clearly defined, barrier selection ensures separation holds up in real operating conditions.

Why Traffic Segregation Needs Engineered Protection
Traffic segregation only works when protection can withstand real operating conditions.
Repeat impacts can damage floors and fixings, creating additional repair work and downtime. Energy-absorbing polymer protection helps contain impacts without transferring force into the concrete floors.
Mixed-traffic environments experience impacts in the same locations over and over. Polymer barriers are engineered to flex and recover, reducing damage to vehicles, barriers, and nearby assets after impact.
Maintenance work often happens in busy traffic zones. Polymer pedestrian protection stays visible and effective without repainting or repair, reducing the need for ongoing intervention.
Why Choose A-SAFE?
Scientifically Engineered Safety
