Anti-Gawk Screens
Anti-gawk screens are designed to minimise driver distractions, improve workzone efficiency, and enhance the safety of both workers and motorists. These screens, which can be made from durable wire mesh or solid panels, attach securely to temporary concrete, steel, and plastic workzone solutions. Anti-gawk screens provide numerous benefits including:
- Reduces Driver Distraction – Prevents motorists from slowing down to observe construction activities, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions and traffic congestion.
- Enhances Work Zone Safety – Protects workers by maintaining a clear separation between construction zones and active roadways.
- Improves Traffic Flow – Helps maintain steady vehicle speeds through work zones by limiting unnecessary slowdowns.
- Versatile & Customisable – Available in wire mesh or solid panel options, allowing flexibility based on project needs.
- Easy to Install & Remove – Securely mounts to temporary barriers without extensive modifications, making setup and removal quick and efficient.
Anti Gawk Screens FAQs
How do anti-gawk screens improve road safety?
By blocking drivers’ view of construction activity, anti-gawk screens prevent rubbernecking, which helps maintain consistent traffic flow and reduces accident risks.
What materials are available for these screens?
Anti-gawk screens are typically made from wire mesh (allowing airflow while reducing visibility) or holy pan panels.
Are anti-gawk screens compatible with all workzone solutions?
Yes. These screens are designed to attach securely to concrete, steel, and plastic barriers, making them adaptable for various projects.
Are they easy to install and remove?
Absolutely! They attach securely with brackets and fasteners, allowing for quick setup and removal as work zones shift or projects are completed.
Can I customise the size and material?
Yes, we offer custom sizes and materials to meet specific project requirements and safety regulations.
Proven Performance on Major Infrastructure Projects
Concrete Deltabloc barriers with anti-gawk screens and shade cloth have been used on major transport and infrastructure projects across Australia to create safe, contained and efficient work zones in traffic areas.
For the Level Crossing Removal Project in Preston, the North West Program Alliance used Deltabloc barriers with anti-gawk screens to secure the area around Preston Station and the nearby markets. Delivered with mesh panels and shade cloth already attached, they were quick to set up and created a private, contained site.
With a 100 km/h crash rating and solid concrete build, the barriers provided impact protection while the screens shielded the work area, reduced debris and increased efficiency.
For the West Gate Tunnel Project’s East Zone piling area, the CPBJH Joint Venture used DB80 concrete barriers with galvanised anti-gawk screens to secure the old Fish Market site and screen active work zones. Delivered with screens pre-fitted, they were quick to place around piling areas and site entrances.
Rated to MASH TL-3 for 100 km/h, the barriers provided impact protection while the screens provided privacy, reduced driver distraction and kept the site contained during early works.
