Okay, I need your help here.
What do YOU call this?
Growing up in Queens, NY we called them
GUARD RAILS.
Since I've moved to PA, I've noticed that they're referred to
as GUIDE rails.
I cannot bring myself to calling them guide rails.
At least I'm grateful we have them.
I would have a HUGE problem traveling this road.
As you can see there is NOTHING to keep you from falling
off the road and down the cliff.
Please leave a comment and let me know what they're called where you live!

Hi, just found your blog and think it is so interesting.
Where I lived in northwestern PA we called them guard rails. Now I live in central PA and they are called guide rails. I figured that the name was changed for some reason. Didn't know some places still refer to them as guard rails. I need to get out more!

Guard rails is the only thing I've ever heard them called--whether here in the corn or when we lived in the southwest.

Guard rails as I don't want to be guided down the road by sliding alongside them. As to that high road, is it in South America? Brazil or Peru, perhaps? I'm happy not traveling that road as well.

Guard rail is what I call them in Texas. I wouldn't be traveling on that steep road with a guard or guide or any kind of rail! YIKES! Fear of heights here.
hugs,

I have always called them guard rails too. Though they do seem a little bit flimsy when you are up in the mountains and a sheer drop off is on the other side of them:)
