Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recognition of the importance of road safety as a major health issue, the World Health Organization has declared 2011-2021 the Decade of Safety Action. Several countries in Europe, North America, and Asia have been successful in reducing fatalities and injuries due to road traffic crashes. However, many low-income countries continue to experience high rates of traffic fatalities and injuries. Transport Planning and Traffic Safety: Making Cities, Roads, and Vehicles Safer offers a source book for road safety training courses as well as an introductory textbook for graduate-level courses on road safety taught in engineering institutes. It brings together the international experiences and lessons learned from countries which have been successful in reducing traffic crashes and their applicability in low-income countries. The content is based on lectures delivered during an international course on transportation planning and traffic safety, sponsored annually by the Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Programme (TRIPP) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. The book is interdisciplinary and aimed at professionals—traffic and road engineers, vehicle designers, law enforcers, and transport planners. The authors examine trends in performance of OECD countries and highlight the public health and systems approach of traffic safety with the vulnerable road user in focus. Topics include land use (transportation planning, mobility, and safety), safety education and legislation, accident analysis, road safety research, human tolerance to injury, vehicle design, safety in construction zones, safety in urban areas, traffic calming, public transportation, safety laws and policies, and pre-hospital care of the injured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addresses the adequacy of traffic safety in work zones. The specific safety issues discussed in this study are: the usefulness of work zone accident data; the hazards of two-lane, two-way operations without positive separation of traffic on a normally divided highway; the use of truck-mounted attenuators in moving/maintenance operations and at long-term construction sites; the placement of flaggers; the need to identify design changes in work zones that will aid drivers with degraded sensory perceptions resulting from aging, inattentiveness, or impairment; the lack of compliance with existing guidelines for work zone traffic control devices and procedures; and the need for a national work zone safety program. Recommendations concerning these issues were made to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the ways a state department of transportation or other transportation agency can address work zone safety and other impacts is to develop and implement a Transportation Management Plan (TMP). The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 945: Strategies for Work Zone Transportation Management Plans provides a practitioner-ready guidebook on how to select and implement strategies that improve safety and traffic operations in roadway construction work zones. Supplemental materials to the report include NCHRP Web-Only Document 276: Evaluating Strategies for Work ZoneTransportation Management Plans; fact sheets on ramp meter, reversible lane, and truck restrictions; and guidebook appendices.

Download or read book Highway Construction Zone Safety written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) has expressed concern about construction zone safety for over 11 years, but this concern has not always been reflected in the safety provisions made by state highway agencies. Unsafe conditions existed at all of the 26 construction sites visited in seven states. Designs for worksite safety varied widely from state to state and from project to project. Although FHwA has taken some actions to improve driving environments, these actions do not fully address the problems observed. By developing additional guidance on how and when to use traffic control devices, by improving field office inspection procedures, and by providing training, FHwA and the states can greatly improve the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and work crews in highway construction zones.
