Safety Barriers installed!

Driving on the A617 (the Mansfield bypass)  one couldn't help noticing the cycle/footway that ran along side it, but also that way was protected from motor vehicles by safety barriers.

Now this is good news.  Is is this a case of the only highways unit in this country taking the trouble to follow correct practice? 


I could have taken photos, but that would have meant my having to
 stop on a busy 'A' road.  I am sure that readers of this blog will be able to recognise a safety barrier by now, and how it should be installed., even if Kent Highways don't seem to be able to (as a general rule).  Here all forms of transport are given some protection, no one misses out.
