Over the last 10 years passenger cars have become smaller, and the percentage of smaller cars in the traffic stream nation-wide, has increased dramatically, while trucks have become heavier and longer. Concern has been expressed that current median barriers used on the nation's highways may prove to be inadequate and that this fact may lead to higher severity rates of injuries and fatalities. Based on an extensive literature review, recommendations are made and are included in the report.
