  FHWA created the Low-Cost Treatments for Horizontal Curve Safety in 2006 (McGee and Hanscom, 2006). There have been many advances in highway safety since that initial 2006 guide. The purpose of this publication is to serve as an update to the 2006 Low-Cost Treatments for Horizontal Curve Safety. The primary audience for this publication is local transportation agencies. This publication provides information specifically relating to lower volume two-lane roads and the agencies that manage them. It will help transportation agencies and their construction crews understand the available countermeasures and how to select and apply them.
