Title: FEDERAL PERSPECTIVE ON WARRANTS FOR HARDWARE DESIGNED TO MEET NCHRP REPORT 350 REQUIREMENTS
Accession Number: 00676495
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This presentation provides a federal perspective on warrants for roadside hardware designed to meet the requirements of NCHRP Report 350, "Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features". The remarks are limited to barrier warrants. There are two general conclusions. First, a rational selection procedure is critical to answer the question what type of barrier (performance level) is best, given that a barrier is warranted. This is not generally done at present, except after-the-fact as a result of a serious accident or series of accidents. Second, guidelines should be developed by the State highway agencies, ideally as a cooperative, coordinated effort. The important issue is to decide when higher test level barriers are appropriate.
