This heart stopping video was doing the rounds recently due to the close call for the truck driver. But is anyone else questioning the lack of any barrier system with a decent containment level?  

In Australia, bridge barrier containment levels are defined by the standards set in AS 5100.2:2022 Bridge Design – Part 2: Design Loads.

These containment levels specify the type and size of vehicles that a bridge barrier must be able to withstand upon impact, ensuring the safety of vehicle occupants and the integrity of the structure.
