Webinar Description:
This webinar will explore the state of the practice in innovative traffic control and design countermeasures to reduce turn conflicts with vulnerable road users. The presentation will introduce the safety risks of turning movements such as visibility and reaction time and, through the Safe System Approach, explore approaches to reducing conflict risk and managing speed and crash angles to mitigate kinetic energy imposed on vulnerable road users in the event of a crash. Specific countermeasures will be introduced, and the speakers will review the design or policy's applicability to different types of intersections or conflict zones (e.g., driveways).
Attendees will gain an understanding of the types of turn conflicts, intersection design and traffic control countermeasures to reduce turn conflict risk and improve vulnerable road user safety, and safe system framework for applying these countermeasures to conflict areas.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the safety risks associated with turning movements and conflict with vulnerable road users.
- Describe the data and analysis methodologies for evaluating and addressing turn conflicts. This includes developing awareness of how speed, kinetic energy, and angles relate to crash event and outcomes.
- Identify design countermeasures and other traffic control interventions to reduce turn conflicts with vulnerable users, and will understand how and where these countermeasures are applied.
- Recall turn conflicts and the associated countermeasures to reduce these conflicts as part of a broader Safe System Approach, and will know about the tenets of the Safe System Approach and framework.
- List available resources and guidance to support policies, strategies, and countermeasures to help transportation professionals with design and implementation.
