Nowadays, there are various changes in road network and infrastructure developments done in our country. But according to the statistical report “Road Accident in India 2012” released by the Government of India, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) the reportable accidents, injury and fatality rates were in increasing order for the past decade up to 2011 and there is only a slight decline in the year 2012. When compared with other States and Union Territories, Tamilnadu tops two in road accidents and fatalities. In these accidents a considerable amount of accidents are due to vehicle-divider and vehicle-barrier collisions. This paper suggests and devises flexible median divider using suitable polymer material, so as to reduce the risk level during median divider accidents.
