Italian term

sicurvia

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Architecture roads
List of design requirements:
point. disegni tipologici sicurvia

I'm not sure whether it should be sth. connected with security road(?)
I know term: 'via d'emergenza' but this one here is quite ambigous and I don't have any further context for it.
Proposed translations (English)
4 guard-rail/safety fence/crash barrier

Thank you, I haven't tried Treccani;) So far I've met the term "barriera di sicurezza" - ALWAYS!

Have You Tried a Dictionary? sicurvìa s. m. [comp. di sicur(ezza) e via2], invar. – Forma con cui si è tentato di tradurre l’ingl. guardrail, non accolta però nell’uso, come neppure guardavìa, mentre ha avuto qualche limitata circolazione la traduz. barriera di sicurezza.
