Older Drivers and Pedestrians Highway Design Workshop
The Federal Highway Administration conducts a 1-day training workshop to thoroughly review the recommendations and guidelines contained in the Highway Design Handbook for Older Drivers and Pedestrians. Interactive methods are used to help participants fully understand the changes that occur with aging. Modifications to the roadway system are identified that can make it easier for older drivers and all drivers. Case studies are used during the workshop. Attendees of the workshop are primarily practicing highway and traffic engineers responsible for highway design and operations. To date, workshops have been conducted around the country in 43 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. For additional information, contact Gene Amparano.
