These AASHTO directed tests are not intended to represent the performance of systems
when impacted by every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway.
This system is tested only to the test matrix criteria of MASH as approved by FHWA.
Trinity Highway expressly disclaims any warranty or liability for injury or damage to persons or
property resulting from any impact, collision or harmful contact with products, other vehicles, or
nearby
hazards or objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products were
assembled in consultation with Trinity Highway or by third parties.
The QuadGuard ® Elite M10 system is intended to be assembled, delineated, and maintained
within specific state and federal guidelines. It is important for the highway authority specifying the
use of a highway product to select the most appropriate product configuration for site
specifications. The customer should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the
product. Careful evaluation of site layout, traffic speed/type, direction, and visibility are some of
the elements that require evaluation by the highway authority in the selection of a highway
product. For example, curbs could cause an untested effect on an impacting vehicle.
After an impact occurs, the debris from the impact should be removed from the area immediately
and the specified highway product should be evaluated and restored to its original specified
condition or replaced as the highway authority determines as soon as possible.
