Five channelizing devices are evaluated for safety via full-scale crash tests at 60 mph using a minicompact sedan, a Volkswagen Rabbit. The five channelizing devices tested were the Plastibarrel 400-PB, the Channelizer, 55 gallon drums, the Wyoming WC-4 Barricade, and the Virginia Simulated Barrel Panel. All impacts were survivable by the vehicle occupants. Impact accelerations, occupant velocity, and occupant displacement data and plots of the vehicle accelerations for each device tested are included. Windshield impacts were also performed using a warning light. The light opened a hole in the test windshield but did not pass through at speeds between 40 mph and 60 mph.
