Engineering Safe Intersections

Thursday, February 16, 2006

Red-light running and dilemma zones can create problems that are difficult to solve. This ITE session will emphasize engineering countermeasures to reduce red-light running and introduce techniques to calculate change intervals for safer intersection operation. This one-hour session is part of ITE’s Professional Development Training Program and focuses on ways to enhance safety for both vehicles and pedestrians. This is a great opportunity to learn about engineering safer intersections, and it qualifies as a Professional Development Hour (PDH) to meet your Continuing Education Unit (CEU) needs.

SPEAKER

James R. Helmer: Director of the Department of Transportation, City of San Jose.
