60 years in mobile traffic safety for Berghaus

Decades before vision zero became a recognised term in road safety, Peter Berghaus was already committed to helping to prevent deaths, or even injuries, at work zones and road construction sites. The company’s vision gave rise to the world’s first mobile radio traffic light back in the 1960s.

Berghaus shows latest developments with ProTec crash barrier

Visitors to the Peter Berghaus stand will see the result of continued development with the company’s ProTec family, resulting in its mobile crash barrier becoming a system. Initially, Berghaus focused on developing and using mobile crash barriers made of steel. This was followed soon after by a clever combination of steel and concrete, resulting in the first ProTec crash barrier to be successfully tested to the European standard DIN EN13172.
