Countermeasures for Road Safety
Road safety countermeasures are actions taken to improve transportation safety and therefore decrease the number of injuries and fatalities. These countermeasures can consist of infrastructure, behavioral, or programmatic/policy implementation. This workshop will provide an overview of safety countermeasures applicable to local roads with an emphasis on low-cost practices. Discussions include Crash Modification Factors (CMFs), systemic safety analysis, and factors for evaluating and selecting countermeasures.
PE2 August 12th, 2024
Work Zones
This workshop provides an introduction and overview of the minimum standards for temporary roadway work zones as outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for rural roads. This workshop will help participants become aware of the need for uniformity of temporary traffic control devices. Emphasis will be given to MUTCD Part 6: Temporary Traffic Control of the MUTCD. The overall goal of this training is to provide participants with the options that are available to address their temporary traffic control needs for various work zones.

Overview of Local Road Safety Plans
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 jurisdiction. The Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) offers a foundation for consensus and focus and helps communities take a proactive stance in reducing and preventing local road fatalities and injuries. This workshop will provide an overview of Local Road Safety Plans (LRSP) including how they support safety efforts, the steps to developing a LRSP, and the strategies for implementing a LRSP.
