Title: IRF Roadside and Work Zone Safety Workshops
Description: The International Road Federation is utilizing a series of Roadside Safety & Work Zone Safety Workshops tailored for road authorities and consultants to teach them how to turn existing and new roads into forgiving highways and eliminate needless deaths. The training workshops will teach the attendees the proper steps to follow to make a road safer by eliminating the hazard, moving the hazard, making the hazard less rigid. The Workshops will also contain information on the safest and most efficient work zone traffic controls, including the application of effective design and installation concepts; and using signs and markings for detours, construction zones, and maintenance sites. In addition to learning about the technologies that are successfully eliminating needless deaths on roads around the world, attendees will better understand which of these technologies are appropriate for their local conditions. They also will be introduced to the performance testing criteria being utilized in the United States (NCHRP 350) and in Europe (EN-1317) to allow them to make intelligent, cost effective choices.
