During this project, a procedure was developed for setting time periods for inspection and repair of highway safety hardware. It maximizes highway safety benefits for various roadway locations and classifications, subject to the constraints of available resources. The types of safety hardware considered were traffic barriers (roadside and median, transitions and end treatments, bridge rail and crash cushions) and sign supports and panels. Current practices for maintaining safety hardware were investigated through literature searches and visits to highway agencies of seven states, one city, and one county.

The objective of this study was to evaluate with field tests, a procedure developed for the Federal Highway Administration for determining frequencies at which highway safety hardware needs to be inspected and repaired. The frequencies arrived at were based on the accident history of the safety hardware and the level of service to be provided, which is based on the probability of completing the inspection and repair before a subsequent accident. It was concluded that the procedure was a useful method for highway safety hardware maintenance guidelines. Some problems were noted and suggestions were made to resolve them.
