Episode Synopsis

Corridor Optimization & Safety ConsiderationsSafe and efficient roadway corridors are essential in every modern community — creating the transportation networks that link people with their destinations. The first step in planning a new roadway or improving an existing corridor is a thorough inventory of existing infrastructure. A careful study of key aspects, such as traffic patterns and adjacent land use, helps our transportation planners and engineers develop an understanding of the issues affecting an area. The information gathered during this initial phase will greatly influence the roadway treatment options they recommend.Listen as our traffic engineering experts Mark Perington, P.E., PTOE, Todd Knox P.E., PTOE, and Nate Carhoff, P.E., discuss the efficiency and safety factors they prioritize when designing and improving corridors.Podcast AgendaIdentifying & Evaluating Corridor Deficiencies (0:18)Featured Corridor Safety Improvement Projects (3:17)Safety & Operational Effects of Geometric Road Design Features (4:41)Considerations to Mitigate Crash Potential (6:26)Alternative Intersection/Interchanges Treatment Options (8:45)Safety for Different Modes of Traffic (12:32)Infrastructure Prioritization & Budgeting (18:22)View the full transcript on our website hereSign up to receive content related to this from our newsletter hereContact Snyder & Associates Tweet us at @Snyder_Assoc Follow us on LinkedIn Snyder & Associates, Inc.
