How to Take a Network-Wide Approach to Road Safety

In the US, more than 25% of all fatal crashes are associated with horizontal curves. Traditionally, targeting countermeasures at horizontal curves has relied on crash data but this reactive approach means waiting for crashes to happen before deficiencies can be addressed. 

In this webinar, Esri partner Abley discusses how GIS tools are allowing road safety practitioners to take a proactive, network-wide approach to assessing and improving horizontal curve safety on rural roads. Abley demonstrates the importance of understanding out of context curves in your network and how GIS can help you create safer roadways.
