• 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.
