Optimizing Operations and Safety at Intersections

With all modes of traffic crossing paths at intersections, they are designed points of conflict. Safety and operations are critical components in limiting the number of these conflicts. Listen in to this second episode of a four-part series on transportation safety as our traffic engineering professionals Mark Perington, PE, PTOE, Toney Boes, PE, PTOE, and Justin Jackson, PE, discuss their process to improve operations and mobility, reduce conflict points, and design safer intersections.
