12/1/11 - Transportation Safety Issues and Priorities in Minnesota
Update: 2011-12-02
Description
Traffic safety comes in several shapes and sizes. Ask a maintenance worker what safety is and you might hear that it's plowing roads when it snows. A transportation designer might say that safety is designing signposts that break away without intruding into a vehicle. A local official might say that installing an interchange or converting a two-lane road to four lanes is safety.
Safety has been ingrained in the transportation profession since the time of horse and buggy trails. In this presentation, Brad Estochen will discuss the Minnesota Department of Transportation's diverse approach to roadway safety. He will highlight traditional measures and prioritization processes as well as approaches for addressing safety on a systemic level and using data to help drive Minnesota toward its goal of zero deaths.
