Bariyer

Bariyer is a term used in Turkish to denote a barrier or obstacle. In a general sense, it refers to any physical element designed to restrict access, guide movement, or provide protection in various settings. The term is commonly used to describe devices and structures in road safety, construction, security perimeters, and event management.

Bariyer types include physical barriers such as concrete barriers, steel guardrails, modular barrier systems, bollards, gates, and fences. Temporary barriers for crowd control or protection are also employed, including plastic barriers and portable metal barriers. In security contexts, anti-ram barriers and turnstiles may be described as bariyer components.

Applications vary: in transportation, barriers separate traffic lanes, protect pedestrians on bridges and in work zones, and prevent vehicle incursions into restricted areas. In security settings, they constrain access to facilities and critical infrastructure. In urban design and events, barriers help manage pedestrian flows and designate restricted zones while maintaining accessibility.

Design and standards emphasize stability, crash performance, visibility, and accessibility. Selection depends on risk assessment, anticipated loads, and local regulations. Regular maintenance involves inspection for corrosion, deformation, or damage and timely repair or replacement to ensure continued effectiveness.
