The National Highway Institute will present a free webinar on speed management to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety on Thursday, February 26, 2015 from noon – 1:30 p.m. CT. Advance registration is required.

Speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crashes, and according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a contributing factor in 30 percent of all fatal crashes. It is a cross-cutting safety issue that impacts safety areas such as roadway departure, intersections, and pedestrian/bicycle safety. The webinar will highlight case studies and examples related to managing speed to improve the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. It is the first in a series of webinars on speed management for improving the safety of all roadway users offered by Federal Highway Administration and the member agencies of U.S. Department of Transportation Speed Management Team.
