Engineered Solutions for Lane Management

B&B Roadway supplies both vertical and horizontal warning gate operators, available in single-rail or dual-rail arm styles with multiple lighting options and operator configurations to fit the unique needs of any managed lane project. Each gate is engineered with a breakaway shear pin design, allowing the arm to safely disengage on impact to protect both motorists and equipment. Built for flexibility, safety, and reliability, our warning gates are a trusted American-made solution for today’s managed roadways.

B&B Roadway’s Resistance Barriers are designed to safely stop unauthorized vehicles by absorbing the kinetic energy of the impact, protecting both motorists and critical infrastructure. Available in vertical or horizontal configurations, they address the specific needs of managed lanes to prevent unauthorized access. With various styles and integrated lighting options, our barriers provide reliable protection while seamlessly integrating into managed lane access control systems.

After a normal crash into the capture system, the demonstrated repair time to return to operation is 30 minutes.

VR-7

Vertical Resistance Barrier

The VR-7 is an electro-mechanically operated vertical resistance barrier with dual-rail and tri-rail aluminum arm tubes and arm light options. The energy absorption cables are designed to assist in diffusing the kinetic energy of an impacting vehicle.  The VR-7 is available in lengths up to 60 feet in length and with different counterweight solutions. 

Supporting DOT's with Modular Systems

We understand that your state or city requirements for a warning gate may not be the same as your neighbor. B&B's modular gate system allows you to choose the right solution for your needs.

1. Choose an operator

First determine if you need a vertical or horizontal operation; or if you need a manually operated gate.

For over a century, B&B Gate Operators have reliably powered horizontal and vertical warning gates across roadways nationwide. Designed with weather-resistant housings and durable internal mechanisms, each system includes customized controls, accessories, and modifications. Gate arm configurations are tailored to meet specific local and regional requirements.
