School Zones: A Comprehensive Look at Signs, Markings and Safety Programs

This webinar will benefit you if you are a professional who manages, provides consulting for, or is considering a school zone safety program in your community. The presentation begins with an explanation of the current guidelines in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, or MUTCD, to help you identify whether the current practices in your city, town, or jurisdiction are in compliance. Case studies and specific examples will be provided to help you understand why different treatments apply to different conditions. Updates from the new 2009 MUTCD will then be highlighted. The presentation concludes with a discussion on the Safe Routes to School Program and the important guidance that you can provide to your community to foster an environment that promotes safety for both the motoring and non-motoring public near your neighborhood schools.
