Description

A large percentage of roadways in the US are gravel or unpaved. In Iowa, these surface types comprise approximately 62% of all roadway mileage. This webinar will discuss safety strategies and countermeasures used to reduce roadway departure crashes on unpaved and gravel roads. Many of the strategies discussed will be low cost and can be implemented in a short time frame. In other cases, the strategies covered can serve as a reminder of all that can be considered when undertaking other projects (reconstruction, repaving, etc.) in the future.
