A side-mounted bridge railing consisting of wide-flange posts and tubular steel rail elements was designed and tested to performance level two of the 1989 Guide Specifications for Bridge Railings. The posts are blocked out from the edge of the deck to provide maximum useable space on the bridge. Acceptable performance was demonstrated in full-scale crash tests.
