  • Page 16: Transitioning

    Transitioning ™ Quad-Beam End Shoe Transition Panel ™ ® The Quad-Beam End Shoe Panel transitions the QuadGuard II system to vertical faced concrete structures whether it is a concrete Backup or concrete barrier wall (See Page 20). An Extended End Shoe is also available. In cases where the corners of the hazard are not chamfered, it may be necessary to add wheel deflectors to the structure in order to prevent wheel interaction.

  • Page 17: Transition Panel Types

    Transition Panel Types If a system is placed in a location where traffic will be approaching from the rear, a Transition Panel is necessary. Figure 8, 9, 10 and 11 show standard panel types. There are variations for each panel type. The specific panel applied will depend on system and site conditions. Therefore, it is important to send site specific data to the customer service department for a recommendation for exact panel requirements of your application.
