Description: This report summarizes research on traffic barrier performance conducted by New York from 1983 through 1987, which concentrated on 1) development of height standards and tolerances for light-post barriers, 2) barrier performance related to vehicle characteristics, 3) development of an economic model to compare median barrier costs, and 4) effects of curbs on barrier performance. Accident data were obtained for approximately 3300 accidents occurring between July 1, 1982 and June 30, 1983. Of these, about 1700 were at light-post barrier sites.
