A study of general properties of H ɪɪ regions along the bars of 11 spiral galaxies is presented. From Hα imaging, distributions, morphology and star formation rates are established. Physical conditions derived from spectrophotometry reveal that strong shocks are absent in H ɪɪ regions along bars and electron densities appear to be normal. Abundance distributions indicate that mixing of the ISM is taking place along bars.
