Interstate Highway System is essentially complete. At FHWA, we see Intelligent Transportation Systems as the interstate for the 21 st century. FHWA is pushing to increase public awareness of the need for greater caution and care when driving through work zones. DC., July 19 and 20. The meeting will bring together experts from government, industry, and universities to highlight achievements and decide on future directions.
Research shows that driver error is associated with a significant percentage of highway crashes.
Signs, signals, and pavement markings are the language of the road. They communicate with color, shape, and placement. FHWA has developed Read Your Road , a user-friendly brochure that provides information on roadway signs, signals and pavement markings. An interactive CD-ROM, Moving Safely Across America is also available. This CD was developed to improve the level of highway safety knowledge of the average driver.
