Presentation Transcript

  1. Learning Outcomes • Describe ways to implement practical safety solutions during both maintenance and project development. • Identify potential sources of funding.

  2. Integrate Safety into Projects • Project Development • New Developments • Capital Projects • Ongoing Routine Maintenance Activities

  3. Project Development Stage Engage safety experts in project development to identify low-cost safety improvements

  4. Incorporating Safety into New Developments

  5. Incorporating Safety into New Developments Consider: • Access management • Traffic control improvement • Additional turn lanes • Right-in/Right-out

  6. Incorporating Safety into Capital Projects Install/upgrade traffic control devices: • Rumble strips • Delineation • Pavement markings • Signs • Signals

  7. Incorporating Safety into Capital Projects • Identify targeted safety improvements for capital projects • Not feasible to implement system-wide upgrade program • Road Safety Audits (RSA) can identify safety issues and low-cost countermeasures

  8. Incorporating Safety into Capital Projects Remove, relocate, or shield roadside hazards including: • Outdated barriers/guardrails • Outdated culvert treatments • Abrupt pavement drop-offs • Trees and utility poles • Non-breakaway supports

  9. Incorporating Safety into Capital Projects Improve access management: • Access consolidation • Access reconfiguration • Lighting • ADA Requirements

  10. Incorporating Safety into Capital Projects Make selective geometric improvements: • Cross-section improvements • Sight distance or sight line improvements

  11. Safety Improvement System Preservation Integrate Safety into Maintenance • Maintenance may be the only regular road improvement activity • “Piggybacking” safety improvements on a maintenance project may represent only a small additional cost Shared Base Costs

  12. Incorporating Safety into Ongoing Maintenance Upgrade traffic control devices during maintenance: • signs • signals • pavement markings

  13. Incorporating Safety into Ongoing Maintenance Upgrade traffic control devices during maintenance: • signs • signals • pavement markings

  14. Incorporating Safety into Ongoing Maintenance • Drainage • Vegetation control • Pavement surface condition
