Abstract: Traffic crash absorber containing several vehicle tires, at least approximately coaxial to a geographic axis, above each other and connected in a stack. Connection bolts which extend in an axial direction are arranged between the lower and the upper tire, to hold the traffic crash absorber together. The absorption properties and the possibility for a secure linkup of several such traffic crash absorbers can be improved by at least two of the lower vehicle tires in the stack having extended openings, to form a chamber including more than one tire width, and by providing the void between the remaining tire sides with annular filling elements which have generally sideways holes for the connection bolts, so that in a compressed state, an annular cushion is formed, and at least one of the connection bolts forms a fastening for a connection element for connection of several traffic crash absorbers.
