T EMPORARY C RASH C USHIONS What is a crash cushion? Crash cushions are protective systems that prevent errant vehicles from impacting obstacles by either smoothly decelerating the vehicle to a stop when it hits head-on or by redirecting the vehicle away from the obstacle in glancing impacts. Two types of crash cushions are used in work zones: stationary and mobile, the latter of which are commonly called truck- or trailer-mounted attenuators (TMAs). Referenced: AASHTO RSDG

T EMPORARY C RASH C USHIONS Crash Cushions  Temporary/Permanent  Attached to rigid barriers  Median Barriers  Roadside Barriers  Bridge Railing  Used in either median or roadside application 3

T EMPORARY C RASH C USHIONS Test Vehicles NCHRP (National Cooperative Highway Research Program) 350: 820C and 2000P MASH (Manual On Assessing Safety Hardware): 1100C and 2270P Includes Passenger Cars Of All Sizes, Sport/Utility Vehicles, Mini-Vans, Vans and Pick-up Trucks NCHRP 350 = 820C (1800 lb.) Passenger 20 deg. MASH = 1100C ( deg. NCHRP 350 = 2000P (4400 lb.) Pickup 25 deg. MASH = 2270P ( deg. TL-2 tested at 70 km/h (44 mph) TL-3 tested at 100 km/h (62 mph) 4

Maintain the crash cushions until their authorized removal. Repair all attachment scars to permanent structures and pavements after crash cushion removal. Make necessary repairs due to defective material, work, or Contractor operations at no cost to the Department. Restore crash cushions damaged by the traveling public within 24 hours after notification as authorized by the Engineer. T EMPORARY C RASH C USHIONS
