Product Overview

Tapered End Treatment

Every transportation engineer knows that transitions make or break a safety project. Our four foot tapered end units transform potential hazard points into smooth, controlled guidance systems that protect all road users. These aren't afterthoughts or add-ons—they're precision-engineered components that maintain the same crash protection as our straight barriers while creating the professional transitions your community deserves.

Whether you're treating intersections, driveways, crosswalks, or mid-block crossings, these tapered units eliminate the abrupt edges that can snag vehicles, confuse drivers, or create accessibility barriers. The same Slip-Lock® Connection system that revolutionizes our straight sections makes these end treatments just as fast to install and reconfigure, giving you complete design flexibility without compromising safety.

Applications

Professional Transitions for Every Scenario

An intersection with protected bike lanes marked by green strips and white bike symbols, separated from traffic by barriers. Crosswalks are present on all sides, and traffic signals hang above the intersection.

Intersection Treatments

Create clear, safe transitions where bike lanes meet intersections, maintaining protection while allowing necessary movements.

A grey car is parked in a driveway in front of a garage. The house is in the background, and two green cars are partially visible, parked on the street in the foreground.

Driveway Access Points

Provide smooth entry/exit for vehicles while maintaining continuous cyclist protection along corridors

Mid-Block Crossings

Guide pedestrians safely across protected lanes with ADA-compliant gaps that don't compromise barrier effectiveness.

A simple illustration of a bus stop with a shelter, a designated bus lane marked “BUS” on the road, and green curb barriers along the lane.

Bus Stop Integration

Allow transit access while protecting waiting passengers and passing cyclists with thoughtful transitions.

A diagram shows a cross-section of a sloped surface with green geometric shapes forming stepped retaining walls along the incline, set against a light grey background with darker grey shaded areas.

Emergency Access Points

Create designated emergency vehicle entry points that remain clearly marked and accessible.

“The difference between our old barriers and Safe-T Lanes isn’t just the crash rating—it’s the complete system thinking. These tapers show we’ve considered every detail of cyclist safety, not just the straightaways. That attention to detail matters when you’re protecting lives.
