A roadside energy absorbing barrier (10) includes energy absorbing elements (16) interposed between diaphragms (12), with fender panels (14) mounted by hinges (20) to the diaphragms (12). The fender panels (14) define longitudinally extending slots (18), and a fastener (24) is mounted between adjacent fender panels (14). This fastener (24) includes a bolt (26) passing through an enlarged washer (32), a slot (18) in one fender panel (14) and an adjacent fender panel (14). A nut (38) is positioned on the bolt (26) inwardly of the fender panels (14), and a coil spring (34) is mounted on the bolt (26) and reacts against the nut (38) and the fender panels (14) to bias the first fender panel (14) toward the second fender panel (14) while permitting a selected separation therebetween. <IMAGE>
