Abstract:	Schutzeinrichtungen am Rand von Autobahnbrücken sollen Durchbruch und Absturz von Fahrzeugen verhindern. Die Zielsetzung ist ehemals durch Unfälle auf Talbrücken der Sauerlandlinie verdeutlicht und durch den folgenreichen Unfall auf der Wiehltalbrücke verschärft worden. Eine erneute Häufung von Lkw-Durchbrüchen verweist auf unzureichende Richtlinien und untaugliche Absturzsicherungen. Das Unfallgeschehen der letzten Jahre zwingt zu Sorgfalt bei der Anwendung von Schutzeinrichtungen, Regelungen und Prüfverfahren. Nicht zuletzt auf Autobahnbrücken müssen die Randbedingungen der Verkehrssituation entsprechen. Highway bridges with inadequate guardrails - breakthroughs of trucks in sight. Safety devices at the borders of highway bridges are to prevent vehicles from breakthrough and crash. By accidents on viaducts of Sauerland-route the objective has been demonstrated formerly and it was intensified by the momentous accident on Wiehltal viaduct in 2004. A recent amount of trucks breaking through guardrails is indicating insufficient guidelines as well as inadequate devices against plunge. The occurrence of accidents during last years forces careful application of safety devices, guidelines, and methods of testing. Not least on highway bridges conditions at the borders must correspond with the traffic situation.
