This report presents the results of three NCHRP Report 350 type crash tests conducted on a sidewalk-mounted steel bridge railing designed by the new England Transportation Consortium (NETC). The test vehicles included an 820-kg small car, a 2,000-kg pickup truck, and an 8,000-kg single-unit van truck. Barrier performance was satisfactory for most of the test evaluation criteria of Report 350 with one exception - in the heavy vehicle (8,000-kg truck) test, the vehicle front axle assembly was dislodged in the impact sequence, allowing the vehicle's trajectory to intrude into adjacent traffic lanes. |
