Dear Mr. Gallagher: 

This letter is in response to your October 29, 2016 request for the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHW A) to review a roadside safety device, hardware, or system for eligibility 

for reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program. This FHW A letter of eligibility is 

assigned FHWA control number B-273 and is valid until a subsequent letter is issued by FHWA 

that expressly references this device. 

Decision 

The following devices are eligible, with details provided in the form which is attached as an 

integral part of this letter: 

• Ezy-Guard High Containment (HC) Barrier 

Scope of this Letter 

To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash 

test and evaluation criteria contained in the American Association of State Highway and 

Transportation Officials' Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). However, the 

FHW A, the Department of Transportation, and the United States Government do not regulate the 

manufacture of roadside safety devices. Eligibility for reimbursement under the Federal-aid 

highway program does not establish approval, certification or endorsement of the device for any 

particular purpose or use. 

This letter is not a determination by the FHW A, the Department of Transportation, or the United 

States Government that a vehicle crash involving the device will result in any particular outcome, 

nor is it a guarantee of the in-service performance ofthis device. Proper manufacturing, 

installation, and maintenance are required in order for this device to function as tested. 

This finding of eligibility is limited to the crashworthiness of the system and does not cover other 

structural features, nor conformity with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

or showed potential to penetrate the 

occupant compartment. No fragments were 

distributed outside of the vehicle trajectory. 

The Ezy-Guard HC barrier system was 

judged to have performed acceptably 

according to the evaluation criteria for the 

MASH Test 4-10. 

As detailed in Holmes Solutions report for 

Test No. 131395.03, a 2270P pick-up truck 

impacted the barrier 17.72" (450mm) 

upstream of post 12 at a nominal impact 

speed and angle of 62 mph (1 OOkm/ h) and 

25 degrees, respectively. This testis 

primarily intended to evaluate occupant risk

Narrative 

Description 

As detailed in Holmes Solutions report for 

Test No. 131395.01, a 10000S single-unit 

van truck impacted the barrier 

19.69" (SOOm m) upstream of post 16 at a 

nominal impact speed and angle of 56 mph 

(90km/h} and 15 degrees, respectively .This 

test is primarily intended to evaluate 

containment capacity, occupant risk and 

vehicle trajectory criteria. 

The Ezy-Guard HC system contained and 

redirected the 1 OOOOS single-uni t truck. The 

vehicle remained upright during and after 

the impact and vehicle stability was 

considered satisfactory. Occupant risk 

factors satisfied the test criteria . The 

trajectory of the vehicle was that it did not 

present any undue hazard to other traffic, 

pedestrians or work zone personnel. 

No debris or detached elements penetrated 

or showed potential to penetrate the 

occupant compartment. No fragments were 

distributed outside of the vehicle trajectory. 

The Ezy-Guard HC barrier system was 

judged to have performed acceptably 

according to the evaluation criteria for the 

MASH Test4-12 . 

Given the bending moment capacity of the 

HC Z-Post is relatively similar to the W6x9 

standard guardrail post section, this 

increase in stiffness was not deemed critical 

to the transition performance and requiring 

additional testing.
