More than 30 highway and safety organizations are working together to improve driver awareness of the hazards encountered when driving through work zones. The 2001 National Work Zone Awareness Week will be April 9-12. The system design and a prototype will be completed by mid 2001. The system will take advantage of existing analysis and data capture systems and will facilitate safety analysis data by linking different safety-related data. The FHWA is working with safety partners to heighten safety awareness within the highway community, business, industry, and the Public.
Handouts examine rural versus urban speeding data and provide a historical perspective.
This is a tool to enable States to evaluate their safety management processes. This self-assessment combines previous guidance on safety management with the seven quality principles of the Malcolm Baldridge National Award criteria. One-day workshop includes specific discussion of highway standards as they relate to driver needs. Human skills and capabilities are discussed and demonstrated and case studies are included. The Design Handbook, and a one-day workshop is available.
