In the United States, approximately 40,000 lives are lost as a result of traffic fatalities every year. When considering the first harmful event, culverts and ditches account for more than 10 % of the total fatal ran-off-road crashes across the country, according to the 2002 AASHTO Roadside Design Guide (RDG) (AASHTO 2002). The RDG also provides guidance regarding the adoption of safety measures used to reduce hazards cre-ated by roadside obstacles. The options, in order of preference, are to: (1) remove the obstacle; (2) redesign it; (3) relocate it; (4) reduce the impact severity by using appropriate devices; (5) shield the obstacle; and (6) delineate it. In accordance with these options, several research studies have been performed to investigate the viability of treatments for roadside culverts. The most commonly used safety alternatives have been: (1) re-locating the culvert outside of the clear zone; (2) placing safety
