Proposal details
The introduction of several MASH-compliant roadside safety systems and the updating of Ontario Provincial
Standard Drawings (OPSDs) to new MTO Drawings (MTODs) to enhance safety performance and ensure
consistency with current standards.
Key elements include the implementation of new barrier systems such as Ram Shield, EZY GUARD Steel
Beam Guardrail (SBGR), and Steel Beam Guardrail Type M for base-plated and embedded foundation
applications. Existing OPSDs are updated through the replacement of legacy delineator and sign support
systems with MASH-compliant alternatives, including post-mounted delineators and SQR-LOC steel square
post systems. Additional MTODs are provided to standardize transitions between concrete barriers and
parapets.
A pedestrian handrail support system is also included to enhance safety for vulnerable road users.
