I would have guess to prevent animals from jumping it and wandering in traffic. The markers on the road side are just reflectors for night driving. This is speculation.
That would only be effective for blocking access to the lanes in the other direction, these are mounted in the middle of the motorway, not at the edges. But I think the high beam shield is perfectly reasonable as explanation.
