Manufacturer of anti-ram vehicle barriers 7681 Gibraltar has supplied over 800 bollards to the Las Vegas Boulevard to protect pedestrians from errant vehicles. The solution is said to be able to withstand a 15,000 lbs (7.5 tons) medium-duty vehicle travelling at 50mph and has also been created to meet ASTM F2656-07 M50 P1 requirements.
