A bar along the edge of something steep, such as stairs or a cliff, to prevent people or cars from falling off. Guard rail, guardrails, or protective guarding, are a boundary feature and may be a means to prevent or deter access to dangerous or off-limits areas while allowing light and visibility so you can see past it. In traffic engineering, a highway guardrail may prevent a vehicle from hitting roadside obstacles, which may be either man-made (signs, culvert inlets, utility poles, trees, or natural foundations), running off the road and going down a steep embankment, or veering off the roadway into oncoming traffic (commonly referred to as a median barrier). A guardrail is effectively one strong band that transfers the force of the vehicle to the rail elements, posts, and end terminals or anchors. A run of guardrail must be anchored at each terminating end either by transitioning the rail into a fixed anchor such as a bridge rail or with an end terminal or end anchor placed in the ground or within an embankment. This is a static feature class and is not updated daily.
