Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0102648A2] A vehicle barrier (20) is constructed to minimize chances of being pulled over or drawn under a vehicle impacting the barrier. The provision of large gaps in the barrier both increases the likelihood of the barrier grabbing onto a portion of the vehicle which might not be achieved by a barrier having a very small mesh. The barrier members (28A, 28B, 30A, 30B) which bound these gaps are constructed at particular angles so that a vehicle tire encountering the barrier would be neither able to run up a given member or run from member to member so as to draw the barrier under the vehicle and allow the vehicle to drive over the barrier. Rather, the tires ultimately encounter the gaps and, thereafter, do not draw the barrier beneath the vehicle.
