Design details and full-scale crash test results are presented for three bridge rails tested for compliance with NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 4 requirements. Designs of these rails are based on AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Each bridge rail consists of structural steel tubing rail elements mounted on wide-flange posts. The rails are generally stronger than many designs commonly used in the recent past. Full-scale crash test results demonstrated that all bridge rails meet NCHRP Report 350 safety performance requirements.
