Our vertical drop-in system allows us to install barriers one lane at a time. We typically work during off-peak hours, installing 500+ feet per day while maintaining traffic flow. Most projects require only temporary single-lane closures for 2-3 hours at a time, unlike traditional concrete that closes roads for weeks.

We strategically place gaps using our tapered end units to maintain access while maximizing protection. Each driveway treatment is designed to slow turning vehicles while maintaining sight lines.

Yes. Our barriers feature built-in drainage slots running both through the barrier as well as along the length of the barrier, that maintain existing water flow patterns. The modular design allows positioning to avoid catch basins and drainage infrastructure. We’ve successfully installed in cities with complex drainage requirements.

Our tapered end units create smooth transitions that guide cyclists safely while alerting drivers. We work with your engineering team to design intersection treatments that follow best practices for mixing zones, protected intersections, or signal separation based on your specific conditions.

We design ADA-compliant crossing points with appropriate gaps and treatments. Our system allows for raised crosswalks, refuge islands, and clear sight lines that protect both pedestrians and cyclists at conflict points.

Standard bike lane sweepers fit perfectly in lanes protected by our barriers. The smooth concrete face doesn’t trap debris like flex posts do, and the continuous protection means less road debris enters the bike lane in the first place.

That’s the beauty of our modular system. Crews can unlock and remove specific sections for utility access, then reinstall them the same day. No jackhammering, no repaving, no waiting for concrete to cure. This flexibility has saved cities thousands in utility coordination costs.

The 18-inch height is specifically designed to work with standard snow removal equipment. The barriers are visible above snow accumulation and strong enough to withstand incidental plow contact. Cities report easier snow removal compared to flex posts that get buried and destroyed.

Protected bike lanes can actually organize parking better through floating parking designs. We help cities communicate how protected lanes increase property values, support local businesses, and make neighborhoods more desirable. Many initially skeptical communities become our strongest advocates.

Studies show protected lanes increase cycling rates by 200% or more because they attract “interested but concerned” riders who previously felt unsafe. Our installations in similar communities have shown immediate adoption, especially by families, seniors, and new cyclists who wouldn’t ride in painted lanes.

Physical separation makes illegal parking nearly impossible, unlike painted lanes. The barriers create a clear visual and physical boundary that’s self-enforcing. Cities report 95%+ reduction in bike lane parking violations after SAFE-T Lane installation.

Yes! Protected bike lanes using  SAFE-T Lane barriers qualify for multiple federal programs including RAISE, TAP, and HSIP grants. Our team provides documentation and support for grant applications, and many cities fund entire projects through these programs.

While our upfront cost exceeds flex posts or plastic barriers, the 5-year total cost is significantly lower due to zero replacement needs. Compared to permanent concrete, we’re 40% less expensive and 80% faster to install. Most cities see ROI within 2-3 years through reduced maintenance alone.

Absolutely. Our 100-linear-foot pilot program lets you test the barriers on your streets risk-free. If they don’t meet your expectations, we’ll credit the full amount toward any alternative. Most pilots convert to full projects after communities experience the transformation.

Our 31 MPH computer simulated crash test  makes them suitable for urban streets with speeds up to 35 MPH. For higher-speed corridors, we can discuss additional design measures. The barriers have been successfully installed on everything from quiet neighborhood streets to major arterials.

Minimum recommended width is 5 feet for one-way lanes, 8 feet for two-way. The barriers themselves are 18 inches wide at the base. We can work with narrower constraints using design strategies like reducing vehicle lane widths or removing unnecessary medians.

Yes! Our barriers are ideal for two-way cycle tracks. The same protection works regardless of cycling direction, and we can design appropriate intersection treatments for two-way operations. Several cities use our barriers for signature two-way facilities.

With proper installation, expect 20+ years of service life. The high-strength concrete, and the steel components are designed for strength and longevity. Unlike alternatives that degrade from UV exposure or impact damage, these barriers maintain their protective capacity indefinitely.

That’s exactly why cities choose our system. Need to extend the network? Add more sections. Need to adjust for new development? Unlock and reconfigure. Converting one-way to two-way? The same barriers work perfectly. Your infrastructure investment grows with your city’s needs.
