Safety for vehicles using toll booths on the Forth Bridge in Scotland has been provided by Trief high containment kerbs from Brett Landscaping and Building Products. The kerbs were used around the eight toll booths to prevent vehicles from encroaching onto the toll booth islands. Speed reduction is encouraged by constrained space created by the product's high face. The concave recess of the kerb provides a visual caution, prompting drivers to steer away. If a vehicle veers towards the kerb, the recess traps the bulge in the tyre wall and redirects the vehicle back onto the carriageway in a line dictated by the kerb.
