Traffic fatalities in 2023 decreased by 3.6% but fatality totals remain higher than in pre-pandemic years, according to preliminary data released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Monday. 

Night time pavement crack sealing on Randall Road is scheduled to begin the week of Monday August 12th, between Gyorr Ave and US Route 20 and is anticipated to be completed in one week, weather permitting.  The night work on Randall Road will be executed from 8:00 pm until 5:00 am, Monday through Friday, in order to reduce daytime traffic impacts and to better serve the motoring public. Please give extra attention to directions given by flaggers and watch for equipment, as temporary lane closures and trucks entering and leaving live traffic lanes will occur during the work. Motorists need to be prepared to reduce their speed, exercise caution, and be extra alert. Motorists should expect delays while traveling through the work areas. Motorists may want to add additional time to their commutes and consider the use of alternate routes while this work is being completed. The Crack Sealing program is part of the County's comprehensive road maintenance program to increase the longevity of the roads by sealing road cracks, preventing water from penetrating the road base and reducing the life of the pavement. Motorists should expect delays while traveling through the work areas, consider alternate routes and expect additional commute time. Motorists are asked to reduce their speed, watch for construction workers and vehicles entering and leaving the site and obey flaggers and traffic control devices.

Accidents as a result of following too closely on our roadways are largely preventable. But the Dali bridge collision was like a lava flow. https://lnkd.in/gfpAQAJH | | #NTSB #safety #portofbaltimore #mvdali #safedriving #safedistance #3pl #logistics #containership

Did you know that inadequate road markings are a leading cause of thousands of accidents each year? Ensuring road markings are clearly visible, durable, and compliant with safety standards prevents accidents and saves lives. In this blog, we’ll explore how two indispensable tools – the #RoadMarkingThicknessGauge and #Retroreflectometer – work together to maintain road safety and meet regulatory requirements. https://lnkd.in/gRi4wBJT

CT PRIORITIZES ROAD SAFETY FOR OVERSIZED TRUCKS! New regulations have significantly reduced accidents involving large vehicles. Truck operators must have special flags and lights, be the appropriate vehicle size/weight limit, and follow designated routes and travel times to reduce traffic and ensure safety when transporting large loads.

Beginning Monday, Sept. 9, 2024, two-way traffic will be shifted into the northbound lanes of S.D. Highway 37, north of Mitchell. In addition to southbound lane closures on Highway 37, a closure will also be in place at East 54th Street near the Highway 37 and National Guard Road intersection. East 54th Street traffic will be diverted to East 38th Street throughout the reconstruction of the Highway 37 and National Guard Road intersection. National Guard Road to the west of Highway 37 will not be closed at any time. National Guard Road to the east of Highway 37 will be closed, with access maintained for local traffic. This work is part of a larger project that will reconstruct Highway 37 in Mitchell from Main Street to National Guard Road. Motorists should be prepared for delays and a 12-foot width restriction through this area. Drivers are asked to be aware of construction workers and equipment through the work zone. Motorists should expect congestion, slower speeds, and turning traffic.

As part of my work on the UK's first (and only) Road Collision Reporting Guidelines I'm interested in bodies still using the word 'accident', which at present includes National Highways. It's positive to see the government-owned trunk roads body starting to shift away from this last bastion of the term, following pressure from affected families, the road safety profession and politicians. Road safety experts say the word fundamentally fails to reflect the fact most collisions are avoidable, and are not simply accidents. https://lnkd.in/evq_8qhQ

In January 2023, FHWA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published the Speed Safety Camera Program Planning and Operations Guide to assist practitioners considering the use of Speed Safety Cameras.
