Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 9:00 am to 11:00 am AKST University of Wisconsin–Madison: Work Zone Safety Grant Courses Free Course for Contractors and Field Engineers Description: This two-hour instructor-led webinar focuses on the best practices for prevention, response, and follow-up involving Work Zone Traffic Incident Management (WZ TIM). Dealing with a motor vehicle crash or similar incidents in a highway construction zone requires the combined skills of multiple personnel, including police, fire, emergency medical services (EMS), highway agency personnel, and contractor personnel. WZ TIM is more complicated than ordinary TIM because access to the incident site is often difficult, there is limited space for response operations, and multiple organizations need to be coordinated. Response can be hampered by the combined effect of incident traffic backups and construction closures. Who Should Attend: This workshop is directed toward first responders, contractors, and field engineers. |
Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 9:00 am to 10:30 am AKST FHWA-Every Day Counts The nighttime fatality rate on the Nation’s roadways is three times higher than the daytime rate. Signs and pavement markings visible to motorists are essential in keeping motorists on the road. Adequately maintaining the nighttime visibility of these traffic control devices can be a challenge for road owners. Come hear how the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) are tackling the maintenance of these devices.
William McLane, P.E., MBA with TxDOT will explain how TxDOT has developed an innovative methodology to track both the life cycle of traffic control devices and evaluate their retroreflectivity in real time.
Alex Wassman, P.E. with MoDOT will cover the evolution of sign inspections by the MoDOT since the early 1990s, including the move towards contracted inspections and interval-based, corridor-wide replacements in some districts. In addition, there will be a discussion of the pros and cons of these new methods as well as the decision-making process behind implementation. |
