Limitations and Warnings
Trinity Highway contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities to perform crash tests, evaluate
test results, and submit results to the FHWA for review.
The QuadGuard
®
II has been deemed eligible for reimbursement by FHWA as meeting the
requirements and guidelines of NCHRP Report 350. NCHRP Report 350 tests are designed to
evaluate product performance involving a range of vehicles on roadways, from lightweight cars
(approx. 1800 lb. [820 kg]) to full size pickup trucks (approx. 4400 lb. [2000 kg]). A product can
be certified for multiple Test Levels. The QuadGuard
®
II is certified to the Test Level(s) as shown
below:
Test Level 2: 43 mph [70 km/h]]
Test Level 3: 62 mph [100 km/h]
These FHWA 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 NCHRP Report 350 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
®
II 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 its site specifications. The
customer should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Site lay out,
vehicle population type; speed, traffic direction, and visibility are important elements that require
evaluation 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.
