At many existing highway bridge locations throughout the United States, the length of need for guardrail required at bridge ends cannot be installed due to conflicts within the existing rights-of-way limits.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 1013: Roadside Barrier Designs near Bridge Rail Ends with Restricted Rights-of-Way: A Guide presents a guide on the application and installation of newly designed short-radius guardrail systems for roadside barriers near bridge rail ends with restricted rights-of-way.
Supplemental to the report is NCHRP Web-Only Document 334: Roadside Barrier Designs near Bridge Rail Ends with Restricted Rights-of-Way: A National Survey and Testing Reports, which provides appendices with further details on the literature review, state survey responses, plus crash-test analyses and results.
