• Abstract:
  Bridges cross over a variety of features ranging from drainage ditches to deep valleys and serve a variety of functions. There are several competing considerations when evaluating bridge railings: the risk of injury and death for vehicle drivers and occupants, the structural integrity of the bridge itself, and the service provided to the principal users of the bridge. The objective of this research was to develop a guide for bridge rails and approach treatments for extremely low-volume roads and low-speed roads. This report describes the background research and information used to develop the resulting guide: Guide for Bridge Curb/Rail and Approach Treatment for Extremely Low Volume Roads (the Guide).
