Guardrails on highways serve several purposes. Firstly, they help visualize where the edges of roads are so drivers avoid crossing to the wrong side of the road. They also serve the purpose of redirecting speeding or out-of-control vehicles so they are less likely to speed into oncoming traffic. Finally, in the case that a car crashes into them, they are designed to reduce the damage to the car’s occupants so crashes are less lethal.
