    FHWA Webinar: Nighttime Visibility for Safety

    Thursday, May 18, 2023 | 3:00-4:30 p.m. ET

    Nighttime adds another dimension to intersection, roadway departure, and vulnerable road user

    safety. The nighttime fatality rate on the Nation’s roadways is three times higher than the daytime

    rate. Urban areas usually have streetlights near schools, parks, transit stops, sports complexes, and

    the like to help illuminate pedestrians, but what are other effective safety countermeasures, including

    for rural areas? Streetlights, although highly effective, can come at a price.

    FHWA will host an Innovation Exchange Webinar with subject matter experts to discuss options for

    increasing nighttime safety. The discussion will include experts from FHWA, local agencies, and the

    National Park Service, to provide a perspective of nighttime safety in intentionally dark areas.

    If you have questions about this upcoming webinar, please contact Karyn Vandervoort with FHWA’s Office of Federal Lands Highway at [email protected].

    No registration required.
