FHWA Innovation Exchange Webinar Addressing Nighttime Visibility for Safety
2023-05-18 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York)
Nighttime adds another dimension to intersection, roadway departure, and vulnerable road user safety. The nighttime fatality rate on the Nation’s roadways is three times higher than the daytime rate. Urban areas usually have streetlights near schools, parks, transit stops, sports complexes, and the like to help illuminate pedestrians, but what are other effective safety countermeasures, including for rural areas? Streetlights, although highly effective, can come at a price.
FHWA will host an Innovation Exchange Webinar with subject matter experts to discuss options for increasing nighttime safety. The discussion will include experts from FHWA, local agencies, and the National Park Service, to provide a perspective of nighttime safety in intentionally dark areas.
If you have questions about this upcoming webinar, please contact Karyn Vandervoort with FHWA’s Office of Federal Lands Highway at karyn.vandervoort@dot.gov.

Designing and Operating Roads for the Aging Population
2023-05-24 11:30 - 2023-05-25 14:30 (America/New_York)
Designing and Operating Roads for the Aging Population – Webinar Series
This webinar meets 2 times.
May
Wed, May 24, 2023 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM EDT (Part 1)
Wed, May 24, 2023 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EDT (Part 2)
This 2-part webinar series provides an overview of recommendations for designing and operating roads to better meet the aging population’s needs. Keeping our roads safe for older users is an emphasis area for many transportation agencies. There are over 40 million licensed drivers in the United States aged 65 or older – a 33% increase from 10 years ago. Older drivers represent about 18% of all licensed drivers nationwide, with even higher concentrations in some states. Aging can impact a variety of skills and abilities necessary for safe driving. This workshop will familiarize participants with the physical, perceptual, and cognitive impairments that can impact the ability to safely navigate a vehicle, and illustrate key strategies that agencies can implement for improving safety and mobility for older roadway users. It is intended for transportation professionals involved in designing, constructing, operating and maintaining streets and roads. The workshop content is directly derived from FHWA’s Handbook for Designing Roadways for the Aging Population and will familiarize participants with the recommended practices from the Handbook in the areas of highway geometry, operations, and traffic control devices. Instructor – Mark Doctor, P.E., Safety and Design Engineer, Federal Highway Administration Office of Technical Services / Resource Center (Atlanta, GA).
