The Road Runner 500 is a self-weighted plastic road barrier designed for fast, reliable deployment across temporary and semi-permanent traffic management layouts. At 12.8kg, the barrier ships empty and deploys directly from the pallet, with no ballast, water, or sand required. You position it straight away to guide vehicles, protect workforce zones, and define Pedestrian Routes without the setup time associated with water-filled alternatives.
The Road Runner 500 is MIRA wind speed tested to 65mph when used with ballasts, making it a dependable road safety barrier for exposed sites and high-wind environments. Its interlocking tail system creates secure, continuous barrier lines for extended coverage, while integrated forklift entry points allow fast repositioning as site conditions change.
For Traffic Management on construction sites, roadworks, or public events, the Road Runner 500 delivers a practical combination of speed, stability, and compliance. Supplied in high-visibility red and white as standard, it is ready to work as soon as it arrives on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does the Road Runner 500 need water or sand ballast?
A. No. The Road Runner 500 is a self-weighted barrier, which means it arrives ready to deploy at 12.8kg without any additional ballast. Unlike water-filled road barriers that require on-site filling, the Road Runner 500 goes straight from the pallet into position. This is particularly useful on sites where water access is limited or where speed of setup is a priority.
Q. What are the wind speed ratings for the Road Runner 500?
A. The Road Runner 500 has been MIRA wind speed tested to 65mph when used with ballasts. This independent test result gives procurement leads and site managers a verified performance figure to reference in traffic management planning. The rating applies when the barrier is used with the appropriate ballast configuration as specified.
Q. Can the Road Runner 500 be used at events and roadworks?
A. Yes. The Road Runner 500 is suited to both roadworks and public events where a road safety barrier is needed quickly and repositioning is likely. Its interlocking tail system enables extended runs for vehicle guidance and pedestrian flow management. The forklift-friendly design means your team can reconfigure layouts efficiently as work progresses or crowd patterns change.
