Long Term Installation Manual
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LONG TERM INSTALLATION - 2016
INTRODUCTION
QWICK KURB
®
is a longitudinal channelizer system of interlocking raised L60 SEPARATOR
units, L65 Reflecting Arcs depicting the raised profile of the L60 SEPARATOR, and vertical
markers and/or bollards. The system is used instead of asphalt or concrete separators of
similar dimensions. It outlasts asphalt, is deployed faster than asphalt and concrete, and it
requires less maintenance. It provides superior guidance for the motorist day and night. It
is ideal as a traffic separator, and as an edge line guide to channel traffic away from
attenuators, to discourage motorists from driving into restricted areas, and to channel in
other desirable ways. Installation is quickly mastered by following the techniques in this
instruction manual. Dimensions mentioned in the instructions are approximate. Refer to
Appendix C – Parts Specifications
on page 36 when more precise measurements are
needed.

CAUTION: The L60 SEPARATOR is not intended for use as a substitute where barrier wall
or barrier curb is required. As with temporary asphalt and concrete separator, emergency
and other vehicles are able to traverse the L60 SEPARATOR
.
The L60 SEPARATOR is designed to help guide the motorist visually, earn driver respect
for the visual channelization, assist encroaching drivers to promptly recognize that their
vehicles are straying into improper locations, and to minimally deflect the vehicles. The
L60 SEPARATOR is not designed to stop vehicles, or to alter their course in a significant
manner.
When configuring a vee shape to channelize motorists away from attenuators, place the
point of the vee no closer than thirty (30) feet from the attenuator.

testing has
not included closer positioning.
To minimize maintenance of the markers/bollards, designers should take into consideration
lane width, along with wide load and truck turning radius requirements.
