Pg 3-4 to 3-10: NCHRP Report 600: Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 600: Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems: Second Edition provides data and insights of the extent to which road users’ needs, capabilities, and limitations are influenced by the effects of age, visual demands, cognition, and influence of expectancies. NCHRP Report 600 provides guidance for roadway location elements and traffic engineering elements. The report also provides tutorials on special design topics, an index, and a glossary of technical terms.

Pg 85-87: Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool

The Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool presents a process for incorporating systemic safety planning into traditional safety management processes. The Systemic Tool provides a step-by-step process for conducting systemic safety analysis;considerations for determining a reasonable distribution between the implementation of spot safety improvements and systemic safety improvements;and a mechanism for quantifying the benefits of safety improvements implemented through a systemic approach.

Road Diets: Proven Safety Countermeasures Best Practices and Recommendations Reports

In January 2012, FHWA issued a “Guidance Memorandum on Promoting the Implementation of Proven Safety Countermeasures”. This guidance takes into consideration the latest safety research to advance a group of countermeasures that have shown great effectiveness in improving safety. Safety practitioners are encouraged to consider this set of countermeasures that are research-proven, but not widely applied on a national basis.
