| Description: | A new safety highway fence of special construction which nudges erring vehicles back onto the road is demonstrated before witnesses for eighteen countries. Establishing shot - Cars driving down a road where this fence is installed on a small bridge MCULS - The car veers into the fence and the car veers off the fence on to the street MCUS - Another car comes a little faster around the bend and the fence nudges the car back on to the road. A good size crowd has gathered to watch the demonstration MCUS - This time a panel truck tries it and it works the same way it worked with the cars CUS - Tires and the minor damaged that is caused by running into the fence CUS - The crowd is off the seats and on to the street to check out the fence. This fence looks much like our road barricades we have today, only the fence is a little lower | |
