Improve the Technical Capacity of Transportation Safety Professionals at all Levels of Government to Advance Safety Programs

This study presents Naturalistic Driving Data Analysis for Curves and relies on the 2nd Strategic Highway Research Program Roadway Information Database to identify geometric factors in curve-related crashes. Support for Roadway Departure, Intersections, and Pedestrian/Bicyclist Safety Focus States and Cities. The study will provide technical assistance to designated states and cities based on fatalities (e.g., develop action plans) to address Focus areas. Partners include State and local transportation agencies. The study will providing technical assistance related to bikeway selection to improve safety. It will also develop a resource to outline principles and benefits of offset right-turn lane for application at high-speed unsignalized intersections.
