Rumbel Strips for Roads with Narrow or Non-Existent Shoulders. University-BasedResearch, Education, and Technology Transfer Program

摘要

The goal of this project is to develop conceptual designs for rumble strips to beplaced on roads with narrow or non-existent shoulders, so that: (a) their installation does not compromise the integrity of the pavement, (b) their location and/or type are acceptable for bicyclists, and (c) they can alert inattentive drivers. Very little information was found in the literature specifically related to the installation of rumble strips on roads with narrow or non-existent shoulders. However, several states have written or unwritten policies related to the installation of rumble strips on two-lane roadways. These policies were reviewed to gain a broader perspective of the issues related to the application of rumble strips along road with narrow shoulders.
