This report presents the results of a NCHRP Report 350 type 4-11 crash test conducted on a sidewalk-mounted steel bridge railing designed by the New England Transportation Consortium (NETC). The test utilized a 2109 kg (gross weight including dummy) pickup truck impacting at 100 km/h and a 25 deg angle to evaluate the strength of the barrier section to contain and redirect the vehicle. The performance of the barrier was judged to pass all evaluation criteria of NCHRP Report 350, and barrier damage was limited to rail scuffling and one post with permanent deflection.
