Webinar: Low Volume Roads
Date: January 27, 2016
Time: 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm ET
Cost: $299 members/ $349 non-members
Organization: American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

The design, maintenance, and operation of low volume rural roads poses a challenge to many local highway agencies, particularly when considering the financial constraints involved in also needing to address the more heavily traveled roadways within the same jurisdiction. It is estimated that there are 2.5 million miles of low volume public roads in the U.S., under the responsibility of counties, townships, tribal lands, the U.S. Forest Service and others.

When addressing low volume road issues, it is often economically impractical to apply the same design or operations treatments that would otherwise be suggested on a high volume road, particularly when most motorists on these roads tend to be familiar with the roadway and its geometrics. For this reason, organizations such as the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the U.S. Forest Service have developed policies and guidelines that recognize the need for more flexible design standards and operational practices for low volume roads.

This webinar will provide an overview of the various design policies and guidelines that can be considered for the construction, reconstruction, maintenance and operation of low volume roads. As a part of this discussion, the differing traffic volume thresholds used when applying these guidelines will be described, as well as the influence of constraints that involve right-of-way, topography, and environmental issues. Maintenance and operations issues concerning paved versus unpaved roads, and use of traffic signing and other traffic control devices will be included.

Key management issues to be considered when developing policies for low volume roads will also be discussed. Low volume road safety concerns and potential low cost counter-measures will be covered, particularly in light of the difficulty involved in statistically assessing sparse crash data.

Webinar: Why Everybody Talks About Transportation Safety, But Nobody Does Anything About It
Date: January 27, 2016
Time: 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: Community Builders

Jim Charlier will use his decoder ring to open up the secret chamber of transportation safety facts, data and trends. Are five-lane streets dangerous? Is it accurate to assume congestion relief improves traffic safety? Why do some state Departments of Transportation say they care about safety, but support raising highway speed limits? Who keeps track of safety data and why is data on local accident trends so hard to find? Are pedestrians and bicyclists over-represented in accident statistics? Do protected bike lanes make sense as safety improvement projects? These are important questions that we need answers for if we are going to reduce injuries and fatalities. Jim will examine the influence that land use context, facility design and regulations have on traveler safety, and will identify strategies that local governments and local advocacy groups could use to track and report safety facts.
