Description
Deployment of 2+1 Road with Barrier in Colorado certainly has potential to improve safety where it replaces conventional 2-lane highways, primarily by preventing head on and sideswipe crashes. The Swedish design is most widely implemented and has a record of success, so Colorado drivers expect the "slow" lane to be the ending lane, and somewhat gentler tapers than Sweden employs.

The Colorado-specific safety knowledge base, developed and effectively applied in the design process at CDOT, is not yet used to inform the planning process. This report transfers the use of these Colorado-specific, predictive and diagnostic tools to the transportation planning process. It develops a proposed methodology for the Explicit Consideration of Safety in the Transportation Planning Process by focusing on science-based and data-driven project...

As recently as 1969 about half the school aged children in the United States walked or bicycled to school. Today fewer than 15% of school children walk or bike to school and as much as 20-30% of morning traffic is generated by parents driving their children to school. Children are less active today and the majority of children living within a 1/2 mile of schools are driven in private vehicles. Obesity rates are on the rise and the cost of obesity...

Description
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs can improve safety, not just for children, but for the entire community. Encouraging children to walk and bike to school more often reduces congestion and pollution around our schools and helps form community partnerships. It also provides opportunities for students, teachers, and parents to increase their physical activity and improve public health.

Description
This report documents two efforts to support CDOT in the area of Safety Performance Function (SPF) development. The first involved the data collection and development of SPFs for five categories of ramp terminals at diamond interchanges. The second effort involved estimating the overdispersion parameters for a number of existing SPFs already in use by CDOT for various roadway segment categories.
