3-71 Involves a 11 OOC passenger car 

Impacting the delineator at a nominal 

speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and a crltlcal 

Impact angle of 0° and 90° with the 

centerline of the vehicle aligned with the 

centerline of the delineator. This test Is 

prlmarlly Intended to evaluate behavior of 

the delineator during high-speed Impacts. 

For this test a 2010 Kia Rio weighing 2,471.2 

lbs (1, 121.0 kg) Impacted two delineators 

3-71 (11 OOC) spaced 65.5 ft. (20.0 m) apart. The first 

Impacted delineator was set at 0° and was 

Impacted at a velocity of 62.82 mph (101.10 

km/h). The second delineator was set at 90° 

and was Impacted at a velocity of 61.46 

mph (98.91 km/h}. Upon Impact, both the 0° 

and 90° dellneators detached from their 

respective bases and impacted the vehicle's 

hood. The mounted warning light detached 

from the delineator oriented at 0°. The test 

vehicle sustained damage to the hood and 

front bumper as a result of the impacts. 

The Delineator 42° passed all evaluation 

criteria for MASH Test 3-71. 

Test Date 2-15-2016- KARCOTest #TRP36039-06-A. MASH Test 3-72 involves a 

2270P pickup truck impacting the 

delineator at a nominal speed of 62 mph 

(100 km/h) and a critical Impact angle of 0° 

and 90° with the centerline of the vehicle 

aligned with the centerline ofthe 

delineator. This test Is primarily intended to 

evaluate behavior of the delineator during 

high-speed Impacts. 

For this test a 2010 RAM 1500 weighing 

5,103.7 lbs (2,315.0 kg) impacted two 

3-72 (2270P) delineators spaced 65.6 ft. (20.0 m) apart. 

The first impacted delineator was set at 0° 

and was impacted at a velocity of 61.90 

mph (99.62 km/h). The second dellneator 

was set at 90° and was impacted at a 

velocity of 60.14 mph (96.79 km/h}. Upon 

impact, both the 0° and 90° delineators 

detached from their respective bases and 

the mounted warning lights tore from their 

mounting brackets. The test vehicle 

sustained damage to the hood as a result of 

the Impacts. 

The Dellneator 42" passed all evaluation 

criteria for MASH Test 3-72.
