LANE-SEPARATING DEVICE

The lane-separating device serves for restraining, guiding back and/or retarding vehicles which come off the roadway, consisting of separating elements (1), in particular concrete elements, of preferably mutually identical design which are to be arranged along the roadway or between its lanes, are strung together in the longitudinal direction and are connected to one another. At their end faces (2) which are oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction, said elements are provided with connecting members (3) which are anchored within the separating elements (1) by means of reinforcing elements, wherein the connecting members (3) inter-engage when the separating elements (1) are placed tightly against one another at their end sides. For this purpose, each connecting member (3) has a cross-sectionally J-shaped, and thus hook-forming, anchoring element (4) which, at its side facing away from the hook, bears a retaining profile (5) which is opposite to the free hook end, wherein the space between the retaining profile (5) and the anchoring element (4) forms a receiving chamber (6) for the anchoring element (4) of the adjacent separating element (1). The anchoring element (4) has in the hook-shaped region a radially outwardly projecting supporting strip (7) which is supported, in the region of the foot point (8) of the connecting zone, between the anchoring element (4) and retaining profile (5) of the connecting member (3) of the respectively adjacent separating element (1).
