Enhancing pedestrian safety in busy urban corridors, CURBRAIL™ is an effective permanent or temporary barrier between pedestrians and vehicular traffic. Used to create curb extensions/intersection bump-outs, refuge islands and center medians, it functions as a protective curb, but it’s modular, quick build and 100% changeable, movable and reusable.
CURBRAIL’s modular, durable steel rails connect and swivel at posts to create the desired barrier configuration. Posts have a narrow 5-1/4″ footprint to accommodate minimal buffer zones. The system can be anchored into asphalt or concrete, and vertical elements can be attached to any post. Rails sit 2” above grade to allow for storm water drainage and debris clearance. Choose galvanized or a powder coat color (over galvanized) finish.
When anchored, CURBRAIL forms a strong, secure and permanent barrier. If/When it must be reconfigured or relocated, simply remove the anchors in seconds to move or repurpose the entire system.
Calm traffic at corners with highly visible and creative RAILRIBBON™ elements. Choose from various shapes, sizes and heights to design curb extensions that enhance safety for pedestrians and offer a pleasing aesthetic. Use in combination with or without flex delineators.
Pre-packaged CURBRAIL Kits contain enough components to create an effective curb extension on one corner. Kits offer an ideal, low-cost means of testing CURBRAIL’s quick-build ease of assembly/adjustability and its protective functionality — and for gathering stakeholders’ feedback.
CURBRAIL installs in hours without the immediate need for time-consuming and expensive engineering studies and plans. With no excavation required and no impact to utilities, it’s an ideal solution for retrofit conditions where a strong, protective treatment is desired quickly. No special skill set or training is needed to install the system. Crews like the quick, easy assembly, and cities appreciate the low labor costs.
“The City of Colorado Springs staff is very impressed with the high quality of the materials used, and installation was very easy. We look forward to using your product on more projects.”
-Kathleen, Engineering Division Manager, City of Colorado Springs
Modular components make it easy to expand, contract, or reconfigure the system on the fly (which is helpful when field conditions don’t exactly match the site plan).
Need to add on or replace a section? Simply order the components you need to create the appropriate configuration for this or the next project.
For a unique and complete solution, combine sections of CURBRAIL – with or without RAILRIBBON™ – with STEELGREEN® Planters to create protective, highly visible and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian spaces.
CURBRAIL is available in a galvanized finish, or in your choice of custom, durable powder coat colors (over galvanized). Most popular colors shown below.
Option: use some galvanized and some color rails.
