Presentation: Safety Treatments for Two-Lane Rural Highway Intersections

Stop-controlled intersections along rural, two-lane highways are very common across the United States.  Crashes that occur at these intersections often result in more severe outcomes due largely to higher vehicle speeds.  While some of these intersections involve state-owned highways, many do not, and therefore are owned and maintained by local road agencies.  FHWA continues to work to identify, evaluate and promote low-cost safety countermeasures that address local and rural road crashes.  This webinar will present the results of an evaluation of three low-cost intersection safety treatments: single-luminaire intersection lighting, transverse rumble strips in advance of stop-controlled approaches, and supplementary pavement markings on intersection approaches.  Crash modification factors (CMFs) for these treatments will be discussed, as will benefit-cost scenarios.
