Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	313 Michael T. Black, P.E. Agency	U Undecided	It would appear to be applicable product, but cost and availability may be concerns. Redirection of vehicles into traffic flow does seem to be a negative attribute. If allowed, should only be for experimental use. Final approval would be based on Highway Design input and recommendation.	Oct 15, 2020	2776
KYTC	903 Gary Newton Agency	U Undecided	After reviewing the product documentation, this product is an expensive product and also has some concern about redirecting vehicles into traffic. With that said, what we have is performing well.	Oct 05, 2020	2768
KyTC-Design	1108 Wendy Southworth Agency	U Undecided	After reviewing all of the product documentation, this product does really well with the crash testing meeting TL3. This is an expensive product and I believe that if KYTC used this product, we would have to have a Lindsay Representative present during installation to ensure that the product is installed correctly. Like Matt, I also have some concern about redirecting vehicles into traffic.	Oct 02, 2020	2764
KYTC	967 Josh Rogers Agency	U Undecided	For the price, I'm not sure this is better than what we already use.	Jul 09, 2020	2719
KyTC Construction	1092 Matt Simpson Agency	U Undecided	While the crash data looks good from a vehicle and end treatment interaction standpoint, I am not a fan of it redirecting a small vehicle back into traffic potentially. I am not sure that collapsing end treatments options have this redirecting issue.	Jul 07, 2020	2717
KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	Y Approve	Approve but this will need a review by Design.	Jul 06, 2020	2710
KYTC	904 Kevin Rust Agency	Y Approve	Looks like a decent product, but quite expensive.	Jul 06, 2020	2709
