PDH Credit
Registrants will need to complete a webinar evaluation in order to earn PDH credit and a certificate of completion.

PDH credits are not provided for additional attendees at one location viewing an on-demand recording. They are only provided to the registrant.

Return to the Course Description for more information or to access the evaluation and certificate.

This webinar will provide extensive collision analyses comparing lagging left-turn arrow and leading left-turn arrow operation. The webinar will also include commentary on the reasons lagging left-turn arrows have a substantially lower collision experience than leading left-turn arrows will be discussed. The webinar will include recent implementation of independent lagging left-turn arrow operation with flashing yellow left-turn arrows. Preliminary collision data for this operation will be provided.

Learning Objectives

Learn the safety benefits of lagging left-turn arrows.

Understand reasons for these lagging left-turn arrow safety benefits.

Understand the need for statistical analyses of traffic engineering and operations actions.

Learn the benefits of Wilcoxon Ranked-Sum Statistical Analyses.
