Abstract:SAFETEA-LU contains language indicating that State Department of Transportations (DOTs) will be required to address
safety on local and rural roads. The Wyoming Local Technical Assistant Program (LTAP) coordinated an effort in cooperation with the
Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) as well as Wyoming counties and cities to identify low cost safety improvements on high
risk rural roads in Wyoming. In this project, safety techniques and methodologies were developed to identify and then rank high risk
locations on these rural roads.
This project is unique because of the high percentages of gravel roads at the local level in Wyoming. The evaluation procedure
developed is based on historical crash records and field evaluations. Three Wyoming counties were included in the pilot study. The
statewide implementation has begun in 2009. This report describes the findings and recommendations of this research study which is not
only beneficial to Wyoming but also to those states interested in implementing a High Risk Rural Road (HRRR) Program.
