  • Publication number: 20240084532
    Abstract: A vehicle mitigation system comprises a first portable barrier, a second portable barrier, and a gate assembly comprising a beam. The gate assembly is pivotally attached to the second portable barrier, and the beam is capable of rotating between a closed position and an open position. The beam in the closed position is substantially parallel to a surface on which the first and second portable barriers are positioned. The beam in the open position is no longer parallel to the surface and has been raised vertically away from the surface.
