MASH states that Test 3-70 for small 

vehicles is considered optional for work· 

zone traffic control devices weighing less 

than 220 lb, because velocity changes 

during low-speed impacts with freestanding, lightweight features will be within 

acceptable limits. The PSS Anchor- Mast• 

Type Ill Barricade traffic control device 

weighed approximately 35 pounds each, 

exclusive of the sandbags. Therefore, MASH 

Test 3-70 was not performed on this traffic 

control device.

PSS19-21.The test vehicle was traveling at 

an impact speed of60.3 ml/h when it 

contacted the barricade 14 inches from 

vehicle centerline toward passenger's side 

aligned with centerline of barricade at an 

impact angle of 90".The supports pulled 

out ofthe bases. The wave boards and 

supports remained together and came to 

rest 67 ft downstream and 12.5 ft right of 

the original position. The right base came to 

rest 21 ft downstream and 4 ft right of the 

point of impact. The left base came to rest 

15 ft downstream of the point of impact. 

The air dam was damaged and there were 3 

small dents in the hood, one at the front 

edge (4 inches x 2.5 Inches x 0.25 Inch 

deep), a second at the right front corner (7 

inches x 9 inches x 0.2 inch deep), and a 

third at the rear edge right of centerline (2 

inches x 2 inches x 0.2 inch deep). 

Maximum exterior crush to the vehicle was 

0.25 inches in the front plane at the right 

quarter point at hood height. No occupant 

compartment deformation or intrusion was 

observed. The device performed acceptably 

for MASH test 3-71. 

The results oftest 690900-PSS20 are found 

in TTI Test Report number 690900· 

PSS19·21.The test vehicle was traveling at 

an impact speed of62.8 mi/h when it 

contacted the barricade 14 inches from the 

vehicle centerline toward driver's side 

aligned with centerline ofthe left barricade 

post (the remaining barricade was to the 

right), at an impact angle of o•.The supports 

pulled out of the bases and the bases 

remained near the impact point. The wave 

boards and supports remained together 

and came to rest 95 ft downstream ofthe 

impact point and 48 ft left of centerline of 

the vehicle path. There were only scuff 

marks on the front bumper and hood. No 

measurable deformation or crush occurred. 

No occupant compartment deformation or 

intrusion was observed.The device 

performed acceptably for MASH test 3-71 . 

NOTE: MASH does not require 

instrumentation of the vehicle when 

impacting lightweight, free-standing work 

zone traffic control devices weighing less 

than 220 lb, therefore the occupant risk 

factors were not calculated for these tests.

62.3 mi/h when it contacted the first 

barricade at an impact angle of0°.The 

vehicle was traveling at an impactspeed of 

61.3 mi/h and impact angle of 90° when it 

contacted the second barrier. Brakes on the 

vehicle were applied after loss ofcontact 

with the barricade, and the vehicle came to 

rest 315 ft downstream ofthe point of 

Impact.The left base of the first barricade 

remained near impact, the right base came 

to rest 25 ft downstream ofimpact, and the 

boards and supports came to rest 150ft 

downstream ofthe point of impact and 63 ft 

to the right of centerline of the vehicle 

impact path. The bases ofthe second 3-72 (227OP) barricade remained nearimpact, and the PASS 

boards and supports came to rest 355 ft 

downstream ofthe point of impact and 8 ft 

left of centerlineofthe vehicle Impact path. 

The right side ofthe grill was damaged, and 

there was a minor Indentation in the 

bumper 12 inches to the right of centerline. 

The right side ofthe hood was deformed 

slightly over an area of 15 inches x 22 

inches, and there was a chip in the 

windshield 1.5 inches In diameter.There 

was no measurable exterior crush to the 

vehicle, and no occupant compartment 

deformation or Intrusion was noted. The 

device performed acceptably for MASH test 

0 3-72 with impact angles ofo and 90°. 

NOTE: MASH does not require 

instrumentation ofthe vehicle when 

impacting lightweight, freestanding work
