“Road safety equipment continues to evolve with the advancement of new technology and to account for design changes in both our automobiles and highways. As such, in 2015 the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) along with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced the schedule for implementing the fifth generation of road safety equipment, including guardrail end terminals, on the National Highway System that meet new crash-testing standards. The standards for this product are in effect and states, such as California, are transitioning to the new requirements.” - Lindsay Transportation Solutions
