Are Traffic Barriers Affected by Extreme Weather?
As with all types of industrial entrance, your traffic barriers can be affected by extreme weather and a drop in temperature. The mechanism behind the operation of your traffic barriers can be impacted by the cold temperatures and wet weather, which can lead to frozen components and a decrease in their functionality.
