Join us for a free webinar on April 19, 2022 from 1:00-3:00 pm ET/10:00am-12:00 pm PT, hosted by FHWA in cooperation with the National Local Technical Assistance Program Association (NLTAPA) and the National Center for Rural Road Safety. Please see below for registration information and forward this announcement to anyone else who may be interested.

Rural roadway departures account for approximately one-third of all U.S. traffic fatalities—about 30 people a day. Roadside safety hardware is a proven countermeasure. Hardware such as barriers, sign supports, and work zone devices are commonly used to reduce the potential severity of these crashes. Knowing how, when and where to install roadside hardware can be a challenge for transportation agencies.  Maintenance and replacement of existing barrier with newer hardware adds to the challenge.
