A trend of observed increases in both the number and rate of total and wet crashes after resurfacing projects has become a safety concern for the NCDOT. Wet collision rates may increase due to a reduction in skid resistance under wet conditions. The precise amount of loss is dependent on many factors, but the consensus among experts is that pavemen

Dynamic speed feedback signs (DSFS) are promising countermeasure to reduce curve speeds and subsequent lane departures at freeway interchange ramps, although their use in such contexts has been limited. Consequently, the impact of DSFS on driver performance at interchange ramps remains unproven. To that end, research was performed to determine the
