ISBN: 9780309698924
Category : Rural roads
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"This report presents results from a multidisciplinary research project that developed a toolkit of behavioral traffic safety countermeasures for highway safety partners focused on rural road safety (e.g., tribal authorities, local government, law enforcement, emergency responders, engineers) to reduce the frequency and severity of motor vehicle crashes on roads in rural areas. This publication will be of interest to state highway safety offices; state and local departments of transportation; county departments of public works; tribal authorities; and other stakeholders concerned with improving traffic safety in rural areas." -- publisher's website
Local and Rural Road Safety
Author: Mitchell BensonPublisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781633211704
Category : Rural roads
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Local road practitioners across the country play a critical role in addressing crash risks at the local level and may be able to identify the specific or unique conditions that contribute to crashes within their jurisdictions. The Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) offers a foundation for consensus and focus. It defines key emphasis areas and strategies that impact local rural roads and provides a framework to accomplish safety enhancements at the local level. The LRSP helps communities take a proactive stance in reducing and preventing local road fatalities and injuries. This book guides the development of an LRSP. It provides information to local practitioners about identifying stakeholders and partnerships needed to build support, tools to analyse data, and resources to identify safety issues and select safety strategies.

How to Make Two-lane Rural Roads Safer
Author: Ruediger LammPublisher: Witpress
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
When accidents happen, drivers are blamed for the mishap. When drivers consistently fail at certain locations, it then becomes obvious that the problem lies not with them, but with the geometry of the road itself. Because accidents are not evenly distributed throughout the road network, locations with high accident rates are a clear indication that there are other factors involved, besides driver error, which are characterized by the road itself. In most countries, two-lane rural roads make up about 90 percent of rural networks and they account for over 60 percent of highway fatalities worldwide, approximately 500,000 people per year. The methodology described in this book will support the achievement of quantified measures of: design consistency; operating speed consistency; and, driving dynamic consistency. The safety criteria are then combined into an overall safety module for a simplified general overview of the safety evaluation process. The authors also encourage the coordination of safety concerns with important economic, environmental and aesthetic considerations. This book will be an invaluable aid to educators, students, consultants, highway engineers and administrators, as well as scientists in the fields of highway design and traffic safety engineering.
