Roadside Barrier Designs near Bridge Rail Ends with Restricted Rights-of-Way: A Guide
At many existing highway bridge locations throughout the United States, the length of
need for guardrail required at bridge ends cannot be installed due to conflicts
within the existing rights-of-way limits.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Research Report 1013:
Roadside Barrier Designs near Bridge Rail Ends with Restricted Rights-of-Way: A Guide
presents a guide on the application and installation of newly designed short-radius guardrail systems for roadside barriers near bridge rail ends with restricted
rights-of-way.
Supplemental to the report is
NCHRP Web-Only Document 334: Roadside Barrier Designs near Bridge Rail Ends with Restricted Rights-of-Way: A National Survey and Testing Reports, which provides appendices with further details on the literature review, state survey responses, plus crash-test analyses and results.
