KISS: Keep it Simple for Safety

There are high-tech tools for measuring speed, traffic volume, and other items needed in a safety study. There are also very simple methods that can be used by anyone to get an initial estimate, check the fancy tools, or determining if it is worth spending time and money on a more complicated review. This session will review some of these simple methods to determine traffic volumes, speeds, sight distance, passing zones, clear zones, and where to place road signs.

Abstract

There are high-tech tools for measuring speed, traffic volume, and other items needed in a safety study. There are also very simple methods that can be used by anyone to get an initial estimate, check the fancy tools, or determining if it is worth spending time and money on a more complicated review. This session will review some of these simple methods to determine traffic volumes, speeds, sight distance, passing zones, clear zones, and where to place road signs.
