A63 barriers buckle in East Yorkshire during hot weather

The barriers were installed on the road during the winter between junction 38 of the M62 and South Cave.

A spokesperson for National Highways said the buckling might have been caused by ground conditions, but said heat was "not being ruled out".The barriers were being continually assessed to ensure safety, National Highways said Mandy Foster, National Highways' service delivery manager, said: "We are aware of the issue with the appearance of the steel central barriers on the A63 near South Cave.

"Our teams have attended the site to investigate the exact cause, whether this is due to seasonal variances or another cause." Ms Foster said the situation was being continually monitored and assessed "to ensure the barriers remain safe".

I call bullshit

Bad going

The replies that ignore the glaringly obvious climate problem are absolute gold. Gold that also would have bent like one of Uri Guellars spoons in that heat

Maybe they should buy some from Australia that won’t buckle

Judging by the central reservation looking very green, I'd guess they are either watering it or they've not really had much hot n dry weather recently. If it's the latter, someone needs to explain why uneven barriers

Wow, that’s some heat!! Love you. Pxxxx

I wonder if Toronto have the same problems - they get extreme heat and extreme cold every year but seem to cope just fine. If they can do it, why can’t the UK🙄

It was hotter in July so why didn't it happen then?

😮😮

Caused by ground movement

They’re not barriers, it’s a vehicle restraint system.

Someone forgot to leave expansion gaps.

Utter tosh 36 deg would not make steel do that , installation or manufacturing floor

Meanwhile GB News viewers are crying Fake News & Defund the BBC...

Do you they buckle in Spain or central Europe or Greece and Australia or anywhere else it's hot......or maybe we bought some shit ones to save money and pay a C.E. a big fat wedge🤔

Bollox

Warp rather than buckle and will go back when the temperature drops. No big deal is it.

What are they made from? Chocolate

No and probably.

No expansion gaps built in, just like modern rail track.

Don't they have expansion slots, or did some Tory try and get more kickbacks by buying inferior goods?

Grass looks green.

F1 cannot risk "NFL situation" by not acting on porpoising - WolffF1 cannot risk an 'NFL situation' by doing nothing on the dangers of porpoising, according to Mercedes boss Wolff. 'Frequencies of one or two hertz over several minutes can lead to long-term brain damage. We have six to seven hertz over several hours.' Fix. Your. Car. Toto. I've barely seen it happening at all since Canada. It’s shameful that toto is talking all of this stuff and yet still makes his drivers endure it by not fixing their car or by being more focused on getting the occasional podium than his drivers health. 3rd in the constructors is garuntee for them. The can’t get 2nd.

Wolff: F1 cannot risk "NFL situation" by doing nothing on porpoising'It's a medical question that needs to be answered' 🗣️ MercedesAMGF1 team boss Toto Wolff believes the FIA cannot risk having an 'NFL situation' by ignoring the potential safety issues with porpoising ⬇️ MercedesAMGF1 The FIA just have to say the car can't porpoise, just like they say the wings can't flex. They don't have to say how a team achieves that. But his basic point is right. It is a medical issue for the long term neurological health of drivers. MercedesAMGF1 🎻 MercedesAMGF1 Surely the idea is to engineer your car so it doesn't damage your drivers.
