Purpose
This Road Design Note (RDN) lists the safety barrier products VicRoads’ Supplement to AGRD Part 6, which describes the
that VicRoads has assessed and considers acceptable for use considerations involved in designing the roadside to include a
on the declared road network (subject to appropriate design safety barrier, the VicRoads Detail Sheets, which detail any
and installation). For roads not on the declared road network product specific limitations identified through assessment, and
(e.g. local roads), the responsible road authority (e.g. Councils) the individual Product Manuals, which are provided by the
should be contacted to determine if this RDN is applicable. product owner/supplier to achieve a desirable installation –
refer Section 5.
Safety barrier selection and design is an intricate process that
frequently requires the application of engineering judgement Details of the assessment process, barrier performance and
and risk assessment. Designers should use this document in general acceptance conditions are provided in Section 4 and
conjunction with the Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 6 & Section 5 of this RDN. Links to individual product detail sheets

In accordance with Section 6.6 of Austroads Guide to Road

parks, historic communities, scenic areas or private road
developments. If a road asset owner is considering the use
of such barriers, it is recommended that the responsible
road authority undertakes a site-specific risk assessment
considering crash test performance, availability of terminals
and whole-of-life costs of the system, in order to make an
informed engineering decision. As a minimum, it is
recommended that such barriers be crash tested against
recognised crash test criteria such as in MASH2, NCHRP
