Work zone collisions caused by these motorists, most often cause injury to the drivers and their passengers. Impact with a solid concrete barrier can damage vehicles, and cause serious injury to occupants.

However, should a collision with a water barricade occur, injuries and damage will be significantly reduced than if the barricade had been constructed from concrete.

For these reasons, water-filled barriers have become one of the most popular options in work zone area protection today.
