As agencies are moving closer to Vision Zero, a multi-national road traffic safety project aiming to achieve a roadway system with no fatalities or series injuries, wrong-way driving crashes still cause hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries every year. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that will share practitioners’ experiences with wrong-way driving and solutions including deployment of effective countermeasures. Presenters will discuss changes to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
This webinar is based on NCHRP Research Report 881: Traffic Control Devices and Measures for Deterring Wrong-Way Movements.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Standing Technical Committees on Freeway Operations and Traffic Control Devices.
Registration is free for employees of TRB sponsors as well as Titanium and Cobalt Global Affiliates. The registration rate for all other attendees is $100.
