Abstract

The portable precast concrete traffic barrier is used to separate high speed vehicular traffic and construction activities. The scope of this evaluation includes 1) a review of the literature on the performance of the concrete "safety shape" barriers, 2) an examination of the accident data, 3) an analysis of tyre marks and barrier- involved accidents and 4) an examination of the effects of construction on traffic characteristics.
