Saudi Arabia's new W Beam guardrail standard, enforced by the Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services (MOTLS), reflects a nationwide push toward safer, more durable, and internationally compliant road infrastructure. The updated regulation aligns closely with AASHTO M180 and EN 1317 standards, ensuring that all safety barriers offer high-impact resistance, corrosion protection, and modular installation compatibility.

Key Updates in the Standard:

• Material Requirements: Hot-dip galvanized steel with higher corrosion resistance (typically ≥ 550 g/m² zinc coating)
• Impact Performance: Must pass crash testing (TL-2 or TL-3 level)
• Post Spacing & Rail Thickness: Standardized dimensions to ensure compatibility and performance
• Terminal Ends & Transitions: Must include certified energy-absorbing end terminals and seamless transitions to bridges or concrete barriers
• Reflective Markings: Improved nighttime visibility requirements

These regulations are particularly relevant for projects funded under Saudi Vision 2030, where infrastructure modernization is a top priority.
