§Flow conflict points are
where the majority of preventable accidents occur; examine all locations as to remedies to reduce flow friction,
minimize cross movements, and improve guidance.
§Minimum speed limits
have been shown to reduce dangerous overtaking and accident rates.
§ÒKeep Right Except to PassÓ needs to be emphasized, and dedicated lanes need to be built on grades for slow moving vehicles because slow
vehicles represent a clear and present danger.
§Safety is found in flow
management and assuring that motorists are informed in a timely manner as to the conditions ahead, exits et
al and or hazards – for the speeds they are driving!
§Regulatory speed limits
should not be used for hazards, curves, intersections etc;
hazard signs are to be used to clearly describe the nature of the risk ahead with appropriate advisory speed, relative to
the prevailing approach speeds.
