Monograph

This Transportation Research Record contains 14 papers on the subject of highway facility design. The papers are organized in 3 parts. Part 1 addresses roadside safety design, including papers on median barrier installation, guardrail to bridge rail transition, hybrid reusable terminals, acceleration severity index, end terminals for guardrails, and an historic log rail. Part 2 examines context-sensitive design and solutions. Part 3 is concerned with culvert hydraulics, culvert management, and water quality.
