(1 point) An unflared guardrail design is needed to protect traffic traveling either direction on a two-lane
road from exiting into the bottom of a steep, rocky ravine running under a bridge and then north-
south beyond the ROW. The road has a 60mph design speed, 12-foot lanes, 6-foot shoulders, and a 6:1
foreslope. The roadway serves an ADT of 3,875 vehicles per day. The guardrail offset from the shoulder is
2 feet.
(Hint: There will be 2 pairs of matching guardrails, one pair on each side (north and south) of the road.)
3a. What is the distance to the edge of the
guardrail in feet for the directional and
opposing travel lanes, respectively?
a.12,20
b.8,20
c.11,30
d.15,16
e.8,30
3b. What is the runout length (LR) in feet?
a.210
b.170
c.150
d.180
e.220
3c. What total length of guardrail needed
along the directional travel lane in feet?
a.192
b.96
c.384
d.203
e.197
3d. What is the total length of guardrail
needed in feet?
a.192
b.96
c.384
