Understanding LTA Standard VIG (Vehicular Impact Guardrail): A Comprehensive Guide
When it comes to road safety, the importance of vehicular impact guardrails cannot be overstated. One of the key standards governing these critical safety features in Singapore is the LTA Standard VIG (Vehicular Impact Guardrail). In this blog post, we will explore what VIG is, its significance, and how it enhances road safety for both motorists and pedestrians. Singapore Specialized Engineering PTE Ltd is a well-known service provider in Singapore.

What is the LTA Standard VIG?
The LTA (Land Transport Authority) Standard VIG refers to a set of guidelines and specifications for the design, installation, and maintenance of vehicular impact guardrails on Singapore’s roads. These guardrails are engineered to mitigate the impact of vehicles colliding with roadside obstacles, thereby reducing the risk of severe injuries and fatalities.

Key Features of VIG
Robust Design: The VIG system is designed to withstand significant vehicular impact, ensuring that it can absorb energy and redirect vehicles safely back onto the road.
Material Quality: The materials used in the construction of guardrails are selected for their durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring they remain effective over time.
Installation Guidelines: The LTA Standard provides clear guidelines on how and where to install VIGs, taking into account factors such as road type, traffic volume, and environmental conditions.
Why is VIG Important?
Enhancing Road Safety
The primary purpose of VIG is to enhance safety on the roads. By acting as a barrier between vehicles and hazards such as steep drops, roadside trees, or other obstacles, VIG significantly reduces the likelihood of severe accidents.

Minimizing Impact Severity
In the event of a collision, VIGs are engineered to minimize the severity of the impact. This is crucial for reducing injuries to drivers and passengers, as well as preventing vehicles from veering into oncoming traffic.
