Текст для чтения 2: Mound Barrier as a Specific feature of M-way in Northern Ireland.
The mound barrier is trapezoidal shaped 2 ft 6 in. high and tapering from 3 ft wide at the base to 1 ft at the top. The barrier is constructed from turf sods laid upside down like bricks forming the sides with a clay core.
There have been a number of occasions when the barrier has been struck by vehicles and it has undoubtedly prevented a number of vehicles from crossing over on to the opposite carriageway. Usually a vehicle while coming to rest demolishes a length of barrier which of course is very easily and cheaply repaired. On several occasions vehicles have been overturned by the barrier often without causing serious injury to the occupants. The barrier has been found to have certain advantages for night driving; while it has not high enough to be a full anti-dazzle barrier it gives a driver extra confidence in meeting opposing traffic in that he knows that there is something solid between him and the opposing traffic and he unconsciously does not allow his eyes to be focused on the opposing headlamps. The barrier reduces the spray between carriageways. A similar barrier is provided on the outside of the grass verge where the road is on a high embankment; to give greater stability this barrier has a stone face on the field side.
