Local agency maintenance forces are in the best position to be the "eyes and ears" of the road when it comes to identifying safety issues. This training will focus on maintenance safety solutions that local maintenance forces can implement daily to address safety issues related to elements such as shoulder drop-offs, right-of-way obstructions, striping and signing, guardrails, mowing, sweeping, patching, drainage, winter maintenance, etc. | |

KTC Research:
Safety Evaluation of 2+1 Roadway Design
| Read more in the research report. | |
|
KYTC has built several 2+1 roads since their introduction in 2013. Once each 2+1 segment opened to traffic, KYTC and KTC began monitoring their performance, paying special attention to highway safety statistics. This report includes 2+1 roads that have been constructed and key characteristics of each (county, route, mile point, dates opened to traffic). So far, about 36 miles of 2+1 roads have been constructed along KY 55 and US 68 in Adair, Taylor, Marion, and Washington counties.
These roads extend from Columbia north to Springfield. After construction on KY 55 north of Springfield is complete, a nearly 60-mile corridor with the 2+1 configuration will be in place from the Cumberland Parkway to the Bluegrass Parkway.
This report summarizes the location of existing 2+1 roadways in Kentucky alongside date ranges for safety evaluations, crash data, and a comparison of crash types before and after implementation.
