Develop Countermeasures to Lower Operating Speeds and Collisions on Arterial Roadways, and Reduce Vulnerable User Injuries

The research team will investigate the effectiveness of arterial-focused speed management countermeasures for application across Texas. The researchers will quantify the costs and benefits of road and vehicle design, operations, enforcement, and other countermeasure types across a range of settings (for uncontrolled-access arterials under different traffic, road type/context, and land use conditions), resulting in a Texas Arterial Speed Management Toolkit and reports.
