FHWA Says Controversial Guardrail Passes Crash Tests

摘要

A type of roadside guardrail that has sparked controversy about its safety has passed a set of crash tests and states can continue to seek federal reimbursements for purchasing it, the Federal Highway Administration says. After the latest group of tests, carried out Jan. 15-27 at the Southwest Research Institute in Texas, "We have concluded that the ET-Plus meets the applicable crash criteria," Gregory Nadeau, FHWA deputy administrator, told reporters who had dialed in to a March 13 conference call.
