Guidance for the Design and Application of Shoulder and Centerline Rumble Strips


Book Description

This report provides guidance for the design and application of shoulder and centerline rumble strips as an effective crash reduction measure, while minimizing adverse effects for motorcyclists, bicyclists, and nearby residents. Using the results of previous studies and the research conducted under this project, safety effectiveness estimates were developed for shoulder rumble strips on rural freeways and rural two-lane roads and for centerline rumble strips on rural and urban two-lane roads.







Guidelines for Selection of Speed Reduction Treatments at High-speed Intersections


Book Description

TRB¿s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 613: Guidelines for Selection of Speed Reduction Treatments at High-Speed Intersections explores the effectiveness of geometric design features as well as signage and pavement markings to reduce vehicle speeds at high-speed intersections.




Centerline Rumble Strips


Book Description

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 339: Centerline Rumble Strips (CLRS) examines current design, installation, configuration, dimension, and visibility issues associated with CLRS. The report addresses the need for guidance on warrants, benefits, successful practices, and concerns such as external noise and the reduced visibility of centerline striping material. Also addressed are pavement deterioration, ice buildup in the grooves, adverse impact on emergency vehicles, and the effect of CLRS on bicyclists. Particular attention was paid to available before-and-after CLRS installation crash data to document the safety aspects of CLRS and the availability of policies, guidelines, warrants, and costs regarding their use and design.




Advances in Human Aspects of Road and Rail Transportation
