NJTPA and Together North Jersey are pleased to partner with FHWA to offer a one-day workshop that explores how Road Diets can improve safety, operations, and livability in communities.
What is a Road Diet? Four-lane undivided roadways often experience a large number of crashes–especially between high-speed through traffic, left-turning vehicles, and other road users. One treatment for addressing this safety concern is a Road Diet, which typically involves converting an existing four-lane segment to three lanes: a through lane in each direction and a center two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL).
Who should attend?
- Transportation Engineers and Planners
- Pedestrian & Bicycle and Safe Routes to School Coordinators
- Local Police, Fire, EMS and Transit
- Community Leaders
What will you learn?
- Learn about the different types of Road Diets and why they work.
- Identify roads that are good candidates for Road Diets.
- Learn what segment and intersection design elements are affected by a Road Diet.
- Practice reallocating street space for other uses, including non-motorized user needs.
