Abstract (en)

A barrier and method for selectively restricting vehicular access are disclosed. The barrier (10) comprises: a side barrier portion (12) located, in use, at each end of the barrier (10), for restricting passage of a vehicle across the barrier (10) to a region between the side barrier portions (12); and a central barrier portion (14), wherein, in use, the central barrier portion (14), is located between the side barrier portions (12) and is separated from each side barrier portion (12) by a respective wheel track region (16); wherein a height (h2) of the central barrier portion (14) is selected to allow a first class of vehicle having a first ground clearance greater than the height (h2) of the central barrier portion (14) to be driven across the barrier (10) with its wheels passing over the wheel track regions (16), while blocking a second class of vehicle having a second ground clearance smaller than the height (h2) of the central barrier portion (14) from being driven across the barrier (10).
