SRTS March Webinar: Engineering Treatments

America Walks/National Center for SRTS March Webinar Topic:  What Does it Take to Get Drivers to Yield? Engineering Measures that Work

Presenters:
Mike Cynecki, Traffic Engineering Supervisor for the Phoenix Street
Transportation Department
Charlie Zegeer, Associate Director for Engineering and Planning at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center,  Director of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center

One of the greatest challenges for many schools and neighborhoods is finding the appropriate measures to slow traffic in the areas where pedestrians cross the street. Which devices will be most effective? What are the costs? What are the maintenance requirements?  Are there liability issues?

In this 60 minute webinar, engineering experts Charlie Zegeer and Mike Cynecki will share their extensive knowledge and understanding of pedestrian safety and traffic control devices to address these questions. They will discuss innovative devices and
the latest research on their effectiveness as well as more standard devices and their appropriate use.

This webinar is part of the Safe Routes to School Coaching Action Network Webinar Series, developed by America Walks and the National Center for Safe Routes to School.
