* Crash Cushions devices are arranged in ascending categories: Type B is the lowest category of crash cushion device and Type E is the highest category of crash cushion device. Higher category crash cushion devices can be substituted for lower category device, if all necessary accommodations for installations are made and the installation is in compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
(1) NCHRP 350 installations are being discontinued after the November 2020
letting, unless the required MASH crash cushion width is unavailable on the approved list above. Any
non-MASH crash cushion shall be approved by the engineer.
(2) MASH installations are required for projects let December 2020 and
after.
