Abstract:This handbook provides instructor notes for a course designed to present roadway and roadside features that can prevent the occurrence of a traffic accident, and reduce the severity of an accident should one occur. It presents current information on crash worthy longitudinal barriers, crash cushions, bridge rails, transitions, end terminals, sign posts, luminaire supports, utility poles and other topics related to improving traffic safety. The objectives of the training course is to enable design, construction and maintenance personnel to: 1. Have a practical understanding of the particular highway feature or safety appurtenance addressed, including a knowledge of why they are used, when and where they will be used, and what actions (appropriate to the design, construction, or maintenance) are important to ensure they function correctly. 2. Recognize substandard or potentially hazardous highway appurtenances and features. 3. Develop alternatives to eliminate, correct, enhance, or mitigate any unsatisfactory safety and operational characteristics of existing or proposed safety appurtenances or highway features.
