Re: Railing loads for pedestrianbridge

Can you use some estimated force of the ATV striking a glancing blow to the handrails?  There are loads for vehicles hitting barriers, but the 5' width would seem to restrict the impact speed and angle.

We are working on the pedestrian bridge project in NC.
I am looking for information about the loads on the railings.
Bridge is 5 feet wide, so the ATV is a possibility.
Your help will be appreciated.
