PURPOSE: A shock absorber with a rear collision protection member is provided to improve the safety, and to protect objects around the crossroad by absorbing shock at a collision around the crossroad. CONSTITUTION: A shock absorber system is arranged for an intermediate region(2) between two branches of a fork in a road divided into two branches. The shock absorber system comprises a collision region(11) provided with a front protective wall(13) and a shock absorber(15) which is positioned in front of the wall and is used to absorb the kinetic energy of a vehicle hitting the shock absorber from a first direction of travel for the road to one of the branches, and one or two transition regions(12,12a) which are connected to protective elements(3a,3b) arranged on the edges of one or both branches in the intermediate region. At least one of the transition regions has a rear collision protection device(18) for absorbing the energy of a vehicle colliding from a second direction of travel essentially opposite the first direction of travel.
