Abstract:Crashworthy design for installation on short radius sites has eluded the roadside safety community for over two decades. Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers have developed an innovative short radius guardrail system for implementation on high-speed roadways. However, there are many roadways with restrictive roadside clearances that cannot accommodate the new short radius guardrail treatment. Many of these sites exist along lowspeed roadways that have a speed limit of 45 mph or less. Researchers developed a short radius guardrail system to meet American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) Test Level 2 (TL-2) performance criteria for use on low-speed roadways.
