ABSTRACT:
A restraining barrier assembly is positionable across a roadway in a deployed position to define a restraining zone and may be moved vertically to a passive position. The barrier may be a rectangular net with wires (or cable) (21, 22, 23) spanning the net and a lower wire 24 below the net assuring effective trapping of autos and trucks of a variety of heights (of the vehicles and of their forward bumpers, hood and driver compartment sections) and a variety of spans between their bumpers and their forward wheels. Vertical strips (25, 26) are provided at intervals along the span of the barrier to maintain spacing of the wires from each other and relative to ground level. The lowest wire (24) is set back from the plane of the barrier that includes the mid-height and upper wires.
