This paper is concerned with guardrail approach treatment at bridge ends near the intersection of two roadways. A state design was evaluated by full-scale crash tests. Based on the findings of this test, design modifications were made and subsequent crash tests were conducted. Success in the later crash tests was realized although the current testing criteria do not give a clear definition of recommended tests for evaluating this unique construction detail.
