Toward Zero Deaths - Maintaining a Safer Roadway Workshop

The Local Road Research Board has developed a workshop on “Maintaining a Safer Roadway” that provides education to maintenance staff on how they can make our roads safer. Local Agency maintenance forces are in the best position to be the “eyes and ears” for Local Agencies when it comes to identifying situations, that when addressed, could greatly improve safety for the traveling public. This workshop addresses safety topics such as: Obstructions in Roadway, Shoulder Drop-Off, Signs and Pavement Markings, Work Zone Safety, Vegetation Control, Roadside Hazards - Clear Zone, Drainage, and Winter Maintenance. Contact the MN LTAP center for more information on when this workshop will be offered in the future. http://www.mnltap.umn.edu/.
