The three sand barrels are for pedestrian/bicyclist protection from the cut ends of guardrail. The barrels will sit on the existing ground and a new pad will not be required, although some modifications to the surface may be needed. The contractor shall assure that the barrels are sitting reasonably flat and set in a position that offers positive protection for perceived bicycle crashes or potential snags. The barrels should be filled half way to minimize the potential of movement. (01/07/2019)
