Reducing vehicle speed helps create safer roadway conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. Join this webinar to learn about the value of establishing transition zones that guide drivers to change behavior in order to slow traffic in advance of special sections of roadway. The presentation includes guidance for creating physical changes to the roadway and border. The value of gateways, roundabouts and other tools are discussed; examples of both rural and urban transitions are considered.
