Deflection/Clear Zone
HighwayGuard™ is designed to absorb energy when impacted. When impacted between anchors
deflection occurs. No hazards or obstacles should be in the deflection area such as kerbs, work
materials/equipment.
Vehicle roll should be considered with taller vehicles as these may protrude beyond the barrier
deflection during impact.
Crash Cushions/Other Connections
Crash cushions should be used when impact to either the approach or departure end of a run of
HighwayGuard™
may occur.
Current Crash cushions/ Connections available;
-
Highway Care BG800™ Transition (
MASH Crash tested)
-
QuadGuard CZ (NCHRP 350 Engineered)

An engineered connection is one that has been designed and jointly agreed by Highway Care and
the crash cushion developer as acceptable for use. These may also require approval from relevant
road authorities

check road authority approval for guidance on acceptable options available in
your market.
