This paper summarizes the results of an investigation for possible designs of roadside safety hardware utilizing new composite materials made from recycled plastics and other reinforcing fibers. A candidate material made from a composite of wood fiber and recycled waste plastics was subjected to mechanical tests over a wide range of (50 to -60 degree centigrade) temperature. The results were encouraging enough to perform a demonstration field test in which an instrumented test vehicle impacted the board rail posts made with the same material. The post performed satisfactorily to redirect the errand vehicle. Thus guard rail posts appear to be an important high volume application outlet for recycled plastics.
