ROADBLADE™ One-way Barrier

Roadshark is the first line of Defense at hundreds of military bases and high-security facilities. ROADBLADE barriers provide reliable security for resorts, U.S. Navy bases, warehouse sites and more. These barriers are easily installed and control the direction and flow of traffic.

What exactly is a ROADBLADE barrier?

The ROADBLADE barrier is a Low-Profile spike barrier, or TDD (Tire Deflation Device). It acts as a deterrent for vehicles driving the wrong way.

Available in 36″ and 48″ segments, our durable, low-maintenance one-way barrier is battle-tested, and made to survive some of the toughest environments.

One Way Barrier Uses

Navy Sites

This Navy site tried one of our competitors, whose product failed miserably and was removed after 1 month (see red scrap metal in top left corner). Roadshark barriers have become the recommended choice (Preferred Product) by the US NAVY. This installation has been running smoothly since September 2018. (ROADBLADE 36″ shown in photo)

Private Residences

ROADBLADE Deterrent model This is a custom version of our popular ROADBLADE inground barrier – The customer requested rounded, non aggressive blades for the barrier to act as a “Deterrent” for the first year. In 2020 they requested standard blades with sharpened blades to ensure that nobody drives the wrong way and damages their gate or enters the premises. Running smoothly since Feb 2019. (ROADBLADE 36″ shown in photo)

The barriers can be installed using three different methods—void form, pre-poured into the pad, or dropped into place.

Blades can be of standard beveled edge, or sharpened. They can also be ordered as rounded if the barrier is only intended as a deterrent. (This model is considered a special order.)

Having been tested by customers, Roadshark is the only product on the market that consistently flattens vehicle tires.

Roadshark barriers are built to last and will give you years of trouble-free operation. Some barriers in the U.S. experience over 6000 vehicles a day and are reliable where competitors’ products have failed.
