摘要

595541 A roadway guardrail assembly (2) comprising overlapping rail sections (4). A downstream end portion of a first rail section overlaps with and is secured to an upstream end portion of a second rail section. A deforming member (310) is secured to the upstream end portion of the second rail section and extends laterally from a side, wherein on vehicle impact the deforming member slideably engages a side of the first rail section and laterally deforms the first rail section outwardly away from the second rail section.
