A Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy
Thursday December 12, 2024 3:30pm - 5:00pm EST
106
The Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy is a tool that characterizes engineering and infrastructure-based countermeasures and strategies relative to their alignment with the Safe System Approach (SSA), toward the goal of eliminating traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. The purpose of the hierarchy is to help transportation agencies and practitioners identify and prioritize countermeasures and strategies when developing transportation projects. The Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy will facilitate greater understanding and increased application of Safe System principles. Included in this discussion will be how implementing proven safety countermeasures, such as a high friction surface treatment program, can prove beneficial.

Topic 1: Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy (SSRDH)
Speaker: Karen Scurry

Topic 2: Proven Safety Countermeasures and the SSRDH
Speaker: Phil Bobitz

Topic 3: Continuous Pavement Friction Monitoring
Speaker: Joseph Cheung

Topic 4: High Friction Surface Treatments in PA
