Selection of Temporary Barrier or Railing
Selection of Temporary Barrier or Railing
Some factors that weigh into the selection of an appropriate temporary barrier or bridge railing are:
- Traffic volume and mix (for example, percentage of truck traffic)
- Posted speed within the work zone
- Width of temporary lanes, number of lanes, and shoulder width, if applicable
- Alignment of the bridge (that is, curves and grades)
- Duration of construction.
