Download or read book Development of Criteria for Design Placement and Spacing of Rumble Strips written by Jiwan Das Gupta and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rumble strips are one of the special geometric features which can be applied to the roadway to alert drivers. A questionnaire survey to various state Departments of Transportation showed that grooved rumble strips are superior in performance to raised ones. Four different grooved design patterns of 3 and 4 in. wide, 1/2 in. deep and tapered or straight edge were developed. These patterns, with a combination of rumble strip pad configurations, were developed for permanent installation at seven different locations. For temporary installation, three raised and three grooved rumble strip pads were installed in advance of a lane drop at two work zone locations on I-75 near Findlay, Ohio.

Download or read book An Assessment of Various Rumble Strip Designs and Pavements Markings Applications for Crosswalks and Work Zones written by Melisa Dayle Finley and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic control devices applied to the pavement can provide a significant amount of information for the driver. The objective of this research was to assess the effectiveness of various pavement marking materials, devices, and treatments that have potential to increase driver awareness and safety. The following pavement marking materials, devices, and treatments were investigated as part of this research project: . yellow-green crosswalk material, . in-roadway warning lights, . fluorescent orange retroreflective raised pavement markers, . "removable" pavement marking paint, and . rumble strips. This report includes recommendations for the application of in-roadway warning lights and rumble strips. Further research is needed on the yellow-green crosswalk material, fluorescent orange retroreflective raised pavement markers, and the "removable" pavement marking paint before application guidelines can be developed.

Download or read book Reducing Crossover Accidents on Kansas Highways Using Milled Centerline Rumble Strips written by Eugene Russell and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KSU surveyed U.S. and Canadian provinces and found no serious negative problems with centerline rumble strips (CLRS) and recommended that they be field tested. KSU field tested several patterns of rumble strips, i.e., varying width and spacing. After selecting the best patterns, KDOT installed about 15 mi of two patterns of on the centerline of a two-lane state highway. This K-TRAN report summarizes the findings of safety benefits and non-benefits from this nationwide survey. It describes research on the Kansas test patterns leading to recommendations on the best patterns, and the results and conclusions of field testing of these patterns regarding drivers' acceptance and perceived benefits of CLRS.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides guidance for the design and application of shoulder and centerline rumble strips as an effective crash reduction measure, while minimizing adverse effects for motorcyclists, bicyclists, and nearby residents. Using the results of previous studies and the research conducted under this project, safety effectiveness estimates were developed for shoulder rumble strips on rural freeways and rural two-lane roads and for centerline rumble strips on rural and urban two-lane roads.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concludes that although adequate sleep is the only 100 percent effective "countermeasure" for sleepiness, there are other countermeasures to help make driving safer. Several of the key countermeasures include: education of high-risk populations, the general driving public, and other key groups, such as law enforcement personnel, new technologies to detect and warn drowsy drivers, roadway countermeasures such as continuous shoulder rumble strips and other roadway treatments, increased use of rest areas, regulatory and judicial action.
