Protection + protection = SMART SAFETY FIRST

When Smart Cushion® is properly transitioned into Zoneguard® temporary steel barrier, the result is a connected roadside safety solution designed to help shield both motorists and roadside workers—because safer work zones start with systems built to perform as one.

What happens after an impact?

For maintenance crews, restoring protection quickly is just as important as the initial performance of a crash cushion. SmartPod® utilizes replaceable energy-absorbing pods designed to simplify repairs and help crews return the system to service following an impact.

Less downtime. Continued protection.

When crews are working at night, every minute on the roadside matters.

Zoneguard® is designed for fast, efficient installation—up to 1,500 LF per hour—with lightweight 50-foot sections, quick rigging, and patented Speed Joint connections that help crews move with confidence.

Less time exposed. More protection in place. That’s SMART SAFETY FIRST.

The true cost of a crash cushion isn't measured only by its initial installation.

Smart Cushion® was designed with durability and reusability in mind. Minimal replacement parts and straightforward reset procedures can help reduce maintenance requirements and spare parts inventory following many impact events.

For transportation agencies and contractors, those operational advantages can make a meaningful difference over time.

Roadside safety challenges don't always look the same.

SmartPod® is designed for both permanent roadside applications and temporary work zone environments, providing transportation agencies and contractors with flexibility when selecting a crash cushion solution.

One system. Multiple applications.

Hill & Smith employees rolled up their sleeves today for a local blood drive hosted by Marriott Columbus Airport.

A special thank you to Ann Marcum-Phillips for coordinating with our Columbus office. Along with participating herself, she encouraged team members, including Vito Minneci, Sophie Decker, Lauren Solomon and Dan Gatins among others, to sign up. We’re proud to see our employees giving back and supporting a cause that helps save lives in our community.

At high-risk decision points, protection needs to do more than sit in place—it needs to perform.

Smart Cushion® acts like a smarter roadside “airbag,” helping absorb and redirect impact energy where drivers face split-second choices. Compared to less permanent solutions, it’s engineered for lasting protection and reliable performance. That's putting SMART SAFETY FIRST when the margin for error is small.

When selecting a temporary barrier system, crash performance is only part of the decision.

Transportation logistics, installation requirements, project duration, and future relocation needs all play a role in barrier selection. These are some of the factors agencies and contractors evaluate when considering temporary steel barrier systems such as Zoneguard®.

08/06/2026

Every impact tells the story of engineering with purpose.

Smart Cushion® is designed to respond intelligently—matching resistance to the speed of the vehicle instead of applying full stopping force when it isn’t needed. Its reverse-tapered design helps the system collapse cleanly while reducing stress on the side panels.

And with full redirective testing under both MASH and NCHRP 350—with no design changes required—Smart Cushion® continues to deliver on what matters most: SMART SAFETY FIRST.

Watch it perform when performance counts.
