1About the Course 1

ROADSIDE & MEDIAN SAFETY COURSE DESCRIPTIONAttendees are exposed to multiple aspects of Roadside and Median Safety, including longitudinal barriers, crash cushions, terminals, transitions, “forgiving poles,” rumble strips and high friction surface technologies. They will be introduced to the global best practices for roadside and median safety, and they will be taught the importance of site specific data to determine the most appropriate product for a particular application. They also will become familiarized with the AASHTO Roadside Design Guidelines, as well as the performance testing criteria being utilized in the United States (MASH / NCHRP 350) and in Europe (EN1317/EN12767) to allow them to make informed choices.

Selecting the correct roadside or median safety countermeasure can be a life or death decision. To make the right decision a specifier needs to understand certain criteria with regard to these products, and also have a clear understanding of the site specific conditions where these systems are to be used. This course reviews the state of knowledge and presents processes to determine appropriate countermeasures based on site conditions.

LEARNING OUTCOMES• Recognize the need for proper, tested roadside and median safety hardware and other

roadside safety countermeasures

• Comprehend how to identify roadside and median safety deficiencies and determine the appropriate countermeasure

• Learn how to determine the appropriate roadside or median safety measure using the concept of “Eliminate, Move, Modify, Shield, Delineate”

• Gain a working knowledge of EN1317/EN12767 European and NCHRP 350/MASH United States testing criteria

• Learn about global best practices and state of the art technologies and concepts for roadside safety

WORK ZONE SAFETY COURSE DESCRIPTIONMotorists constitute more than eighty percent (80%) of the fatalities in work zones. Road Au-thorities are responsible for the safety of these motorists and they must establish and enforce the criteria that contractors must follow to design a safe work zone.

Attendees are exposed to the concept of the “Five Elements of a Work Zone” and each of these elements are discussed in detail to understand what must be done to make them safe for mo-torists as well as workers. Attendees will learn how to design a safe work zone and they will learn about the newest technologies for work zone safety. The use of positive protection from crash worthy barriers, truck mounted attenuators, dynamic, variable message signs, average speed camera enforcement and flagger training will be among the topics discussed.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understand that the road authority is responsible for the safety of its motorists in a work zone

• Comprehend how to design a safe work zone for both motorists and workers by using best practices and state of the art technologies and concepts in each of the five work zone elements

• Learn about global best practices and state of the art technologies and concepts for work zone safety
