A safety performance evaluation of the Minnesota concrete parapet with brush curb and metal rail (Minnesota Combination Bridge Rail) was conducted for the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) as part of Year 4 of the Midwest States Regional Pooled Fund Porgram. The safety performance evaluation of this bridge rail system was conducted and reported according to the criteria specified in Test Level 4 of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report No. 350, Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features. This testing involved impacts with an 8000-kg single-unit truck, a 2000 kg pickup truck, and an 820-kg small car.
