The report presents the results of a study to evaluate the impact performance of widely used roadside safety elements for a 1,500 lb vehicle. A full-scale crash test program coupled with an extensive computer analysis study were used to evaluate impact performance. Elements evaluated included the concrete safety shaped barrier, the roadside barrier, breakaway luminaire and sign supports, a base-bending sign support, the eccentric-loader guardrail terminal, crash cushions, and roadside safety features including slopes, ditches, driveways, and curbs.
