Guardrail End Terminal Field Evaluation

Use this tool to determine if an existing guardrail end terminal should be replaced based on the posted speed limit. Position the pin on the map to log the terminal's location.

Drag the RED PIN to the location of the terminal or click the 'Locate Me' button. Current pin location:

Every year, hundreds of roadway departures result in fatalities due to vehicles “gating” through the guardrail end terminal and striking a hazard. Current guardrail end terminal technology only consistently stops end-on vehicle strikes at shallow angles (+/- 3 degrees). The NGT safely stops nearly all vehicles that strike the end terminal at 15 degrees or less.

  • • 6’3” Length of Need (Post 2)

    • Non-gating up to 15°

    • Crash tested up to 77.5 mph

    • No Spearing

    • Install with standard guardrail equipment

    • Fewer unique parts = easy inventory management

    • Quick install reduces crew exposure in work zone

    • Shorter required length = less exposure & nuisance hits

vs.

  • • 12’ - 18’ Length of Need (Post 3 or greater)

    • Gates at 3° or more

    • Crash tested only up to 62.5 mph

    • Risk of guardrail spearing into vehicle

    • Custom field equipment needed

    • Complex inventory management

    • Lengthy installs exposes crew to traffic

    • Longer required length = more exposure and nuisance hits
