Safety Edge Paving

Will resurfacing result in an edge drop off exceeding 1.75 inches?

Yes ☐	No ☐ (If yes, continue on next question)

Specify safety edge paving and include paving general note 3 (See Section 6-150.01 of the Roadway Design Guidelines)

Refer to section 4-416.00 in the Roadway Design Guidelines.

Centerline Rumble Stripe

For projects with undivided two way traffic only, indicate in the below table any location (or entire project length) in which there is a crash history of crossover crashes in which the addition of centerline rumble stripe may improve safety. See standard drawing T-M-16A for details

Guardrail, Guardrail End terminals & Attenuators

Existing Guardrail at Bridge Ends

Replace any guardrail at bridge ends transitions that are inadequate.

Refer to Standard Drawings S-GRC-1 or S-GRC-2

Guardrail End Terminals to be Replaced
Log Mile	Left / Right	Type 12 / Type 38

Existing Guardrail End Terminals

Replace any existing guardrail end terminal on National Highway System not meeting TL-3 NCHRP 350 or MASH requirements with TDOT Type 12 (Buried in Backslope) or Type 38 (Tangential Energy Absorbing).

Refer to Standard Drawings S-GRT-1 or S-GRT-2, and section 4-705.00

Guardrail, Guardrail End terminals & Attenuators (Continued)

Existing Guardrail Height Adjustments*

Any existing guardrail that will be less than 27” in height (measured from the shoulder extended) after resurfacing shall be raised to between 28” to 29” inch height.

Guardrail Locations to be Adjusted
Begin Log Mile	End Log Mile	Left / Right

* Guard Rail height adjustment may not be required for locations where the posted speed limit is less than 45mph.

Proposed Guardrail

Indicate any additional locations that warrants new guardrail or existing locations where the guardrail height cannot be adjusted due to limitations such as post length or steep fill slope (requires longer post).

Refer to Sections 4-705.10 through 4-705.15

Attenuator

Indicate any location that warrants new installation, replacement or upgrade to low maintenance/self- restoring category of an attenuator.

Roadside Obstacles

Indicate any roadside obstacles inside the clear zone that can be removed, relocated or delineated without purchasing additional right-of-way. Refer to sections 4-705.13 and 4-705.15

Railroads

Is there a railroad crossing within the project limit or within 200’ of the project limits either on the mainline or on side roads?

Yes ☐	No ☐ (If no, skip to next section)

Coordinate with TDOT Railroad Coordinator at Headquarters for recommendation on the adequacy of warning systems.

Railroad Crossings
Begin Log Mile	End Log Mile	Left / Right

Is the total estimated costs of the safety upgrades are greater than $10,000?

Yes ☐	No ☐

If yes, proposed safety improvements shall be funded separately from other resurfacing plan items in both federally funded and 100% state funded resurfacing projects. Therefore, designers should have an additional project number set up for payment of safety improvement items.
