If the guideway runs down the center of an arterial street or on the edge of such a street, highway barriers can be placed to protect the posts or they can be placed on concrete pedestals so that it is not possible for vehicles to hit the posts. The posts are, however, substantial enough so that it would take a high-speed collision of a large truck to shear off a post. If a post were sheared, the guideway will remain intact and the vehicles will remain in the guideway.
