Abstract: A guardrail mounting arrangement comprises a support post having a face surface including a plurality of receiving slots formed therein. The receiving slots are aligned in a pair of spaced columns. At least one mounting bracket has a pair of side walls, each including a series of depending ears. Each of the ears are sized to be received in one of the receiving slots formed on the support post. The pair of side walls define an open interior. A guardrail section extends between a first end and a second end. The first end of the guardrail section is sized to receive within the mounting bracket such that the mounting bracket supports the first end of the guardrail section along the support post.
