Barrier Basics
This 2.5-hour virtual training explores the basics of longitudinal roadside barriers. The course discusses why and when roadway barriers are needed, review the types and characteristics of barriers, and identify where to locate guidance for placing and installing barriers. Additionally, participants will review maintenance requirements for roadside barriers and discover the important role maintenance plays in keeping the barriers performing as they should.
Participants will use resources, such as the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide as well as Nevada-specific design guides and specifications, to answer questions and make decisions about real-world scenarios you might encounter when placing barriers.
