Abstract:

Highway safety is an ongoing concern for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). As part of its ; proactive commitment to improving highway safety, TxDOT is moving toward including quantitative safety ; analyses earlier in the project development process. To assist in achieving this goal, TxDOT research project ; 0-4703 developed the Roadway Safety Design Workbook for engineers responsible for highway geometric ; design. This Workbook describes quantitative safety relationships for specific design components known to ; be correlated with crash frequency. ; As part of TxDOT Project 0-4703, a series of workshops were developed to share safety information with ; TxDOT roadway designers. Information in the Workbook was used as the basis for the workshops. The ; workshops addressed rural highways, urban streets, and freeways. They included a mixture of classroom ; discussion and hands-on training activities for the participants. The participants indicated that the ; information presented in the workshops will be beneficial as they make decisions about highway safety ; improvements.
