Part 7 (of 8) in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) webinar series, “Designing for Pedestrian Safety,” will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, November 3 at 1:00 p.m. CDT.  The webinar is on “Road Diets” and will include a presentation by Peter Lagerway of Toole Design Group.  The webinar will provide participants with an up-to-date overview of design considerations for "road diets," as well as background information that can be used to justify lane reductions. Special attention will be given to research that has evaluated the effectiveness of road diets in decreasing crashes for both pedestrians and automobiles. Finally, participants will be presented with design tips for allocating space for all road users.

The webinar is free and online registration is available.  For more information, email webinars@hsrc.unc.edu.
