Chapter 8 gate barrier, built for live highways and street works
The Chapter 8 Gate Barrier in blue is a freestanding road barrier for separating pedestrians and traffic on public highways, street works and busy sites. It is blow-moulded from tough virgin HDPE, links barrier-to-barrier in seconds on 360° swivel feet, and carries a 600 x 450mm sign. At roughly 9-10kg it is a genuine one-person lift, and the reflective strip keeps it visible day and night.

Highways and traffic management, street and road works, utilities works, pedestrian direction, and events and crowd control. Barriers link together for a continuous run, guiding people and vehicles safely past the works.
Do you need Chapter 8?
If your barriers are used on a public highway or live road works, they are legally required to be Chapter 8 compliant, including the reflective strip supplied with this barrier. On private land Chapter 8 is not required - if you only need to manage pedestrians there, crowd control barriers may suit.
Feet options
-
Standard - the original foot, maximum stability.
-
Anti-Trip - low-profile foot that reduces trip risk in pedestrian areas.
-
Anti-Trip Razorback - anti-trip profile with a larger footprint for extra wind stability.
