This training provides an overview of safety trends, an understanding of the national safety vision, and the principles of a comprehensive safety program. It also covers the importance of prioritizing safety and introduces growing positive traffic safety culture to improve road safety in America. We will discuss the elements that shape traffic safety culture, how those factors interact to affect behaviors related to traffic safety, strategies that can be implemented to improve traffic safety culture among various groups, and ideas about how they can leverage their role (and the role of others) in growing a positive traffic safety culture.

KTC Research:
Evaluation of Durable Pavement Striping
| |
|
Roadway pavement markings, colloquially referred to as “striping," can be made of various combinations of paint and reflective beads. In the interest of aligning Kentucky with the state-of-the-art durable pavement marking practices of other states, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) developed a research study aimed at improving pavement marking specifications and practices. This study reviewed current practices, identified potential improvements, and performed a systematic evaluation in a controlled environment on both asphalt and concrete roads.
As the main deliverable from this research, this report details the performance of various pavement marking materials in terms of retroreflectivity, durability, and expected lifespan.
