Benefit Summary
• Enhanced signage, striping, and rumble strips 
can collectively reduce the risk of crashes 
at stop-controlled intersections. These low-
cost countermeasures provide a significant 
safety return on investment, improving safety 
without the need for expensive modifications.
• Curve warning signage alerts drivers about the 
upcoming curve, encouraging reduced speeds 
and more cautious driving. The feedback 
signage offers real-time feedback based on 
vehicle speeds, enhancing responsiveness 
and compliance with speed limits.
• Conducting an Intersection Control 
Evaluation (ICE) at ramps improves safety by 
identifying the safest and most cost-effective 
intersection designs, ensuring transparency, 
and considering innovative solutions.
• Wider edge lines enhance visibility, reduce 
roadway departures, lower crash rates, and 
support automated vehicle navigation.
• Railroad crossing gates act as a physical 
barrier between vehicles and an approaching 
train, significantly reducing the risk of train/
vehicle collisions. Advance signage provides 
guidance and visibility to drivers approaching 
the crossing.
