California Showcases Safety Edge Project

A Highways for LIFE demonstration showcase drew more than 30 transportation professionals to observe the paving of a Safety EdgeSM on Mountain Ranch Road in Calaveras County, CA. The participants also attended a workshop on the Safety Edge, a paving technique that mitigates pavement edge drop-offs. The August 23, 2012, event was California’s second Safety Edge showcase. A California Department of Transportation policy that takes effect in October 2012 requires the Safety Edge on all paving projects, except where the technique is not needed or cannot be used.

Connecticut and Ohio Sign Programmatic Agreements

New programmatic agreements in Connecticut and Ohio are designed to shorten the time it takes to deliver highway projects. An agreement signed August 23, 2012, will streamline the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process by delegating to the Connecticut Department of Transportation the authority to classify two categories of projects as categorical exclusions without further FHWA approval. The Ohio agreement, executed August 24, 2012, will shorten part of the environmental process and improve project delivery times by reducing the amount of review time FHWA needs and allowing for concurrent agency reviews. It will apply to the majority of NEPA Section 4(f) determinations processed through the Ohio Department of Transportation's Office of Environmental Services.

About 50 engineers, planners, designers, contractors, and suppliers participated in a full-day discussion on the use of adaptive signal control technologies (ASCT) in Puerto Rico. FHWA, the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA), and the Puerto Local Technical Assistance Program collaborated on the August 16, 2012, event. PRHTA presented its plans to pilot ASCT in Mayaguez and to improve and replace all signal systems in Puerto Rico over 16 years. Several suppliers delivered presentations on available ASCT products.
