Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Measures Guide – Ontario Traffic Council
Pages 29-34 of PDF – Table 5 – Typical HVMs Used for High-Risk Entry Points
This Guide has been prepared for Ontario Traffic Council (OTC) as part of its effort to promote transportation safety in Ontario by offering technical guidance on hostile vehicle mitigation. This publication is produced as per the best practices and is intended to provide a compendium of knowledge on this topic. These guidelines have been developed for municipal use and are not applicable to any provincial highways.
The Guide was reviewed by a project steering committee and accepted for publication based on procedures established by the OTC. However, the opinions and conclusions expressed or implied in this Guide are those of the consultant who undertook the project and are not necessarily those of the OTC, the Project Steering Committee, or the project sponsors.
The guidelines provided in this document are to assist transportation safety practitioners and individual municipalities in better decision-making and improve their safety planning processes. However, they should not be used as a replacement for sound engineering judgment and technical experience in the public’s best interest. Furthermore, no reference can cover all contingencies, or all cases experienced in practice, so the readers should rely on their own skill and judgment to use the provided information in different applications.
