LRRB to offer rural safety primer at workshops
The Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB) is addressing safety by developing Rural Road Safety Solutions Workshops that will be held in early 2008 in all Mn/DOT Districts. This course, designed to create an operational “culture” where the focus is on safety, will provide attendees with information regarding the tools and technologies needed for the assessment and improvement of rural roads.
A team of experts from the Federal Highway Administration, Mn/DOT, local governments, and a consultant will present the information.
- City and county engineers who attend this workshop will have the opportunity to learn about:
- Safety issues on both a local and national level
- Specific safety strategies that engineers can utilize in their jurisdiction
- Tools and techniques to improve rural road safety and how to implement them
- Steps to create a culture of safety
- How to secure funding and engage the public in safety issues
