Abstract:

Roadside safety features such as luminaire poles and sign supports are evaluated for crashworthiness using the AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) guidelines for crash testing. The updated preliminary testing protocols provide guidelines for evaluating families of related sign support and breakaway luminaire pole devices. NCHRP Web-Only Document 405: Evaluating Crashworthiness of Sign Supports and Breakaway Luminaire Poles: Appendices is supplemental to NCHRP Research Report 1123: Guidelines for Evaluating Crashworthiness of Sign Supports and Breakaway Luminaire Poles.
