Selection of Road Safety Barrier Systems
This document specifies public domain and proprietary longitudinal road safety barrier systems and
other crashworthy devices such as crash cushions and vehicle attenuators that are accepted for use on
roads managed by Ashghal Public Works Authority (PWA). Longitudinal safety barriers can be classified
into three types as follows:
(a) Rigid
(b) Semi-rigid
(c) Flexible
The selection, design, installation and maintenance of longitudinal road safety barriers must consider
the operation of the barrier as an entire system. This includes all additional components such as end
terminals, crash cushions, transitions and gates. All road safety barriers installed on the road network
must be installed and maintained by qualified personnel.
The manufacturer or supplier of a proprietary road safety barrier system shall provide all necessary
details for verification of crash performance, characteristics and limitations of the system and
requirements on the fabrication, installation, maintenance and refurbishment of the system.
All road safety barrier systems must be deemed to be in accordance with EN1317, NCHRP350 and/or
MASH and approved by the PWA. The primary criterion for the approval of a barrier system is that it
must have been successfully crash tested and the results evaluated in accordance with EN1317.
However, consideration will also be given to systems that have been successfully crash tested in
accordance with NCHRP350 or MASH.
In addition, consideration will be given to other factors including but not limited to the following:
Availability of Spare Parts: The manufacturer / supplier will need to demonstrate that
spare parts are available for maintenance / replacement within
an agreed timeframe.
The selection of road safety barrier system for a particular site is based on the performance of the
system under crash test conditions. The objective of the testing is to determine the manner in which the
barrier system is likely to perform during a vehicle crash.
The primary criteria to evaluate the safety performance of a barrier system include structural adequacy
(containment level), occupant risk (impact severity), deformation of the system (working width or
deflection) and the post impact vehicle response.
Refer to Appendix A for a summary of EN1317 crash test criteria. Refer to Appendix B for a comparison
of EN1317, NCHRP350 and MASH crash test containment levels and test conditions.

This section will provide a summary of new products added to the list and details of any significant
amendments to the previous version:-
1. SLED (Sentry Longitudinal Energy Dissipater) Temporary Crash Cushion Added to section Crash
Cushions.
The SLED is a narrow, water-filled, non-redirecting, gating crash cushion which has been successfully
tested in accordance with NCHRP 350 Test Level 3 for use as an end treatment to steel and concrete
barriers under temporary conditions.
Note: - (1) The system is only to be used on projects for a duration of one month or less unless otherwise
approved by the Ashghal Traffic Diversion Plan (TDP) Approvals Office.
(2) Because the SLED is a non-redirecting, gating crash cushion, it should be applied in locations
that are not likely to be impacted at an angle on the side at any significant velocity;
(3) The approved product supplier (Refer section for details) remains responsible for ensuring
that Contractors have the necessary knowledge and skills to correctly use the product;
(4) The minimum acceptance configuration for use is the 4 module TL3 configuration unless
specifically approved as a departure by the Ashghal TDP Office;
(5) For full details of usage requirements for this product refer to Ashghal Acceptance Letter
dated 07-12-2014.
