New webinar! Rural Roadway Safety

What does it take to reduce the dangers of rural roads? This webinar focuses on three key strategies: keep vehicles in their lanes, reduce crash risk if they leave them, and minimize crash severity when crashes inevitably occur. After all, humans make mistakes, and our roadways should be designed accordingly. 

Drawing on the MUTCD 11th Edition, FHWA’s FoRRRwD framework, and other trusted resources, Aaron Lockwood and Nick Garner discuss proven countermeasures that reduce rural roadway departures (and non-departures!).

This webinar will cover safety treatments including:

  • Curve signing
  • Pavement markings
  • Friction treatments
  • And more!

This image is of a screenshot from the webinar of a slide that focuses on vehicle speed feedback signs.

The slide has text that reads "When used to supplement a horizontal alignment warning sign advisory speed, the Vehicle Speed Feedback Sign (W13-20) shall be an independent installation near the point of curvature of a horizontal curve.​"

The image also includes a diagram from the MUTCD 11th edition that shows how to place signs on a rural curve.
