LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Gain a clear understanding of the scope and gravity of the global road safety issue with an introduction to the United Nations Decade of Action and the Safe System Approach Countermeasures. Clearly understand the “three legged stool” approach to road safety; the road user, the vehicle and the road itself.

Clearly understand the “three legged stool” approach to road safety; the road user, the vehicle and the road itself.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Introduction to the strategic approach to make roadsides and medians safe by using countermeasures designed to either keep vehicles on the roadway, provide for a safe recovery if vehicles leave the roadway or reduce the severity of the crash. A detailed explanation of the proper use of energy absorbing poles and longitudinal barriers will be provided to ensure properly tested product designed for the site conditions are used.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Understand how crash cushions, terminals and transitions are designed to work. Learn how to select the correct crash cushion or terminal or transition for a hazard based on site specific criteria. The session will include a summary of the current testing criteria being used for these roadside safety products in Europe and the United States. Session will conclude with an examination on Roadside/Median Safety.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Gain an understanding how to design a safe work zone using proper temporary traffic control plans based on the length of time for the project, the number of vehicles and the proximity of the work to the roadway. Use of the Manual of Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) will be discussed as well as an introduction to a variety of work zone safety concepts, including portable barriers, Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMA), portable crash cushions, flaggers, proper horizontal and vertical signage and portable traffic signals.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Clearly understand the safety benefits for the motorist, the truck driver and the truck by using a properly designed and tested Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA). Understand the global best practices being used to make work zones safe using illumination, delineation and signage.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Learn the five elements of any work zone; Advanced Warning Area, Transition, Buffer Zone, Work Area and Termination, and understand the concepts, products and global best practices being used to make each element safe for all road users. Session will conclude with an examination on Work Zones.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Introduction to the Infrastructure Safety Management concept to make roads safe for all road users, including motorists and Vulnerable Road Users such as pedestrian, motorcyclists, bicyclists, public transport and non-motorized vehicles. Gain a clear understanding of the concepts, products and global best practices being used to make roads safe for pedestrians.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Introduction to the eight stages of a road safety audit/inspection; identify the project, select a team, conduct a pre-audit/inspection team meeting, perform field review or drawing observations, conduct an audit/inspection analysis and prepare the report of the findings, present audit/inspection findings to Project Owner/Design Team, Project Owner/Design Team prepares a formal response and incorporation of findings into project when appropriate. A series of countermeasures will be discussed based on findings from actual road safety audits and inspections.
