Le terme générique «barrière», que nous avons relevé dans de nombreux ouvrages français sur la construction routière, peut aussi être utilisé. Le terme «garde-fou» est un spécifique défini par le Grand Robert comme un type de parapet. 1, record 1, French, - parapet%20pr%C3%A9sentant%20une%20capacit%C3%A9%20de%20r%C3%A9sistance%20et%20d%27absorption%20le%20rendant%20plus%20s%C3%A9curitaire

Proposition fondée sur le fait que le terme anglais «forgiving» signifie que c'est le parapet qui «écope», et non les passagers de la voiture. Cela concerne la capacité d'absorption des chocs. Il faut aussi que les parapets soient suffisamment résistants pour empêcher les voitures de les franchir. 1, record 1, French, - parapet%20pr%C3%A9sentant%20une%20capacit%C3%A9%20de%20r%C3%A9sistance%20et%20d%27absorption%20le%20rendant%20plus%20s%C3%A9curitaire
