TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Warrants for barriers in highway work areas JO - Transportation engineering journal of the American Society of Civil Engineers A1 - Hargroves, BT SP - 259 EP - 266 VL - 108 IS - TE3 N2 - A design process has been developed to determine the necessity for temporary positive barriers systems in highway work zones. The methodology includes two prescreening steps to determine whether site and traffic conditions constitute a probable or significant hazard. In the third step, the expected number of hazardous vehicle encroachments into the work area is estimated based on the duration and length of the hazard, the roadside clearance and cross slope, the roadway curvature and the traffic speed and volume.
