    Hi Rob
    similar but in my neck of the woods they are normally tubes that clang or chime when they are hit

    i was thinking more the big ones you get going into tunnels etc with the chain hanging down from the signs. was gonna say it would be easily made… guess im way off :lol1:

    I’ve never did any, but i’ve seen some around here that are Literally PVC Pipe hanging from chains.

    don’t see any reason why that wouldn’t work unless there’s an issue with vinyl sticking to PVC…?

    4×4 box section steel, is what they use in the entrance to the blackwall tunnel, not only do they chime, but they smash the hell out of the trailer.
    It is a last resort though, they have all the signs, then a beam which turns on a red light, if that fails they steel mmakes the driver wake up before he damages the tunnel entrance.

    Peter, I was lead to believe by a Blackwall tunnel maintenance worker that some were filled with concrete as well :lol1:
