A guardrail, experts say should ‘absorb the impact, even that of a head on collision.’
Three states; Nevada, Massachusetts and Missouri banned railings.
In London, some councils in the United Kingdom banned rails after it was found that the rate of injury to pedestrians decreased three times faster after getting rid of the ‘killer guardrails.’
In Kenya, however, National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) found that the rate of pedestrian deaths had come down to 18 per cent.
The rails, they said help decrease the number of deaths up from 1,300 in 2015 to 1,097 in 2016.
