SUMMARY:FoRRRwD – Combating Rural Roadway Departures New Jersey Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nAs a stakeholder in rural roadway safety\, you are invited to attend a virtual workshop towards reducing lane departure crashes in New Jersey.  The Federal Highway Administration\, in partnership with New Jersey Department of Transportation\, will conduct the workshop broken into three separate dates to avoid an all-day event. 30 people will die today as a result of a roadway departure on a rural road nationally. This course provides participants with some tools for addressing roadway departure crashes. Topics covered in this course include a discussion of engineering countermeasures as well as implementation using the systemic approach. The learning outcomes are: \n\nDescribe the rural roadway departure crash problem\nIdentify the three objectives used to combat the problem\nIdentify proven safety countermeasures to mitigate roadway departures\nRecognize the crash reduction potential for the individual countermeasures\nUnderstand why the systemic approach is critical to reduce roadway departures\nIdentify risk factors that are commonly used in the Systemic Approach to reduce rural roadway departures\n\nThe sessions will focus on the systemic application of proven roadway departure countermeasures\, discuss strategies to help keep vehicles in their travel lanes\, and share methods to reduce the potential for crashes while reducing the severity of those crashes that do occur.  The workshop is being offered under a program aimed at deploying innovation within the transportation community and further background information can be found in a recent NJDOT technology transfer post. \n  \nAgenda: \nSession I –  March 16\, 2021 \n9:00 –  11:30 \nSession 1 – Introduction and Overview \nSession 2 – Delineation and Signing \nSession 3 – Rumble Strips \n  \nSession II – March 23\, 2021 \n9:00 –  11:30 \nSession 4 – Friction \nSession 5 – Recovery Area \nSession 6 – Minimizing Severity \n  \nSession III – March 30\, 2021  \n9:00 –  11:30 \nImplementation Strategies \n\nSystemic Approach to Roadway Departures\nNJDOT Safety –  MPO curve contract and data availability\nNJDOT Local Aid – funds availability\, application process\, safety for all projects
