However, while gating devices need a large stopping area for the vehicle, non-gating devices require a significantly smaller free area since they stop the vehicle on the roadway. Therefore, even in the absence of a clear zone, non-gating reduces the likelihood of a post-collision accident.<\/p><p>Crash cushions used in medians are non-gating because their application reduces the risk of the vehicle crossing into the opposite lane, avoiding danger to both the driver involved in the collision and other road users.<\/p><p>However, crash cushions have a considerably larger transverse footprint than barrier terminals. As a result, applying these devices is not always feasible on the roadside edge or in medians.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b215725 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b215725\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8edb38d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8edb38d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em><strong>All devices supplied by SMA, both MASH- and EN 1317-tested, are non-gating redirective.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0446f23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0446f23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Sources<\/h3><p>AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware 2016<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>",
