Limitations and Warnings
Trinity Highway, in compliance with the NCHRP Report 350 “Recommended Procedures for the
Safety Performance of Highway Safety Features”, contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities
to perform crash tests, evaluation of tests, and submittal of results to the FHWA for review.
The MPS 350
®
X system was tested to meet the impact criteria, requirements, and guidelines of
NCHRP Report 350. These tests, specifically set forth by FHWA, evaluate product performance by
utilizing established impacts outlined by NCHRP Report 350 involving a range of vehicles on the
roadways, from lightweight cars (approx. 820kg [1800 lb.]) to full size pickup trucks (approx. 2000
kg [4400 lb.]) as specified by the appropriate highway agency. A product can be certified for
multiple Test Levels. The MPS 350
®
X system is certified to the Test Level(s) as shown below:
Test Level 3: 100 km/h [62 mph]
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.
Additionally, the MPS 350
®
X system was tested to meet the impact criteria, requirements, and
guidelines of TD 49. These tests, specifically set forth by The Highways Agency, evaluate product
performance by simulating those impacts outlined by TD 49 involving a typical range of vehicles on
our roadways, from lightweight cars (approx. 900 kg [2000 lbs.]) to heavier cars (approx. 1500 kg
[3300 lbs.]) as specified by The Highways Agency. A product can be certified for various speed
levels as shown below:
TL3.UK: 110 km/h [68 mph]
Highways Agency 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 TD 49 as approved by the Highways
Agency.
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 MPS 350
®
X 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 its site specifications. The customer
should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Careful evaluation of the
site lay out, vehicle population type; speed, traffic direction, and visibility are some of the elements
that require evaluation in the selection of a highway product.
After an impact occurs, the debris from the impact should be removed from the area immediately
and the product should be evaluated and restored to its original specified condition or replaced as
soon as possible. All components and assemblies should be inspected and any parts that are
damaged should be replaced with original Trinity Highway replacement parts. Contact the Customer
Service Department prior to repair if you have any questions (see p. 3).
