The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is in the process of implementing roadside safety hardware on Texas highways in compliance with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). The focus is to further enhance safety on Texas highways. TxDOT currently has a MASH Test Level 3 (TL-3) compliant double-faced guardrail in use. However, this system needs end termination or connectivity adapters to other barriers. The connectivity between the median guardrail and the median concrete barrier is the transition section. There is a safety need to develop a MASH-compliant transition between the double-faced median guardrail and the median concrete barrier.
