Device for halting vehicle traffic

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device (AB 1 to AB7), designed to be embedded in the pavement of a road for halting and/or preventing the motor vehicle traffic in an opposite direction to the appropriated or allowed travelling direction especially in one-way roads accessing highways, being substantially imperceptible for a vehicle travelling in the appropriated travelling direction or allowed by the traffic signalling, characterised in that the device (AB1 to AB7), is formed by a adequate drained box (A) to be embedded in the pavement of a roadway and by a bank of mechanisms (B1 to B7), that it is mounted inside the box (A), inside said bank of mechanisms (B 1 to B7) being defined cells formed by several vertical walls, and end walls, all said walls being arranged parallel to each other and joined together by screwed rods extending through the end walls, said walls extending in the same direction of the road axis, said vertical walls and said end walls serving as support for the several common horizontal shafts, and their tops serving as the support pavement for the vehicle tyres, in each said cells being housed a driving mechanism (M 1 to M7) which is activated at least by one tyre of a vehicle transposing or attempting to transpose it in order to present an active obstacle to the displacement of said vehicle its reposition being done by gravity action assisted or not by a reposition arrangement consisting of elastic means in order to reduce its reposition time or its repositioning being accomplished exclusively by elastic means. The present invention founds is application in the civil construction, especially, in building or retrofitting of roads.
