The RAMSHIELD Transition provides a smooth, snag-free connection between steel guardrail barriers and rigid barriers, such as at bridge parapets. The RAMSHIELD Transition gradually increases stiffness of the safety barrier system reducing the potential for vehicle pocketing.

The RAMSHIELD® Transition achieves a controlled redirection of errant vehicles by releasing the thrie-beam guardrail from the post at an optimal load to retain rail height, limit dynamic deflection and to allow the post to collapse without tripping the vehicle.
