26. Barrier Terms Work Area Approach End – The portion of a barrier system exposed to approaching traffic.

27. Barrier Terms Work Area Trailing End – Downstream end of a barrier system, not exposed to approaching Traffic.

28. Barrier Terms Work Area Unidirectional – Exposed to traffic approaching from one direction only.

29. Barrier Terms Work Area Bidirectional – Exposed to traffic approaching from opposing directions

30. Barrier Terms Work Area Point of Departure - A point on the edge of a lane at which an errant vehicle leaving the lane will likely impact the leading face of a hazard or area of concern.

31. Barrier Terms Work Area Departure Line - A line extending from the Point of Departure to the back of a hazard or Clear Zone

32. Barrier Terms Work Area Departure Rate - The rate at which the Departure Line leaves the roadway and extends to the back of a hazard or CZ. 1:16 or 1:13 1:16 or 1:13 1:16 for speeds 45 mph or less 1:13 for speeds 50 mph or greater

33. Barrier Terms Work Area Work Area INSIDE Clear Zone Limit use the Back of Hazard or Back of Work Area Inside Clear Zone Clear Zone Limit

34. Barrier Terms Work Area extends OUTSIDE Clear Zone Limit use the Clear Zone Limit Distance Work Area Clear Zone Limit

35. Barrier Terms Work Area Beginning Length of Need- The point at which a barrier intersects the Departure Line establishes the Beginning of the Length of Need

36. Barrier Terms Work Area Length of Advancement (X) – The distance a longitudinal barrier must be extended in advance of an area of concern in order to adequately shield the hazard. X

37. Barrier Terms(Length of Advancement) X=256′ D=18 ′ d=2 ′ Example for 45 mph with CZ of 18’ with Barrier set at 2’ from Edge of Pavement X = 16 (18-2) X = 256’

38. Barrier Terms Work Area Length Of Need Unidirectional – Barrier needed is from the approach departure line to the trailing departure line. Length of Barrier Wall Needed

39. Barrier Terms Work Area Length Of Need Bidirectional – Barrier needed is from the approach departure line to the trailing departure line Length of Barrier Wall Needed
