Horizontal Curve Alignment

POSTPONED TBD

Horizontal curves are changes in roadway alignment that create a more demanding environment for the driver, vehicle, and pavement. The challenges associated with safe navigation of horizontal curves become compounded with the addition of a nighttime driving environment or inclement weather. Recent data analysis shows that 28 percent of all fatal crashes occur on horizontal curves. Furthermore, about three times as many crashes occur on curves compared to tangential sections of roadways and most of these crashes are roadway departures. These statistics make horizontal curves prime sites for safety improvements.

A focus on horizontal curves can prove to be a cost-effective approach to reducing roadway departure crashes. Horizontal alignment signage is low-cost and can be installed at prioritized horizontal curves to address safety issues.

This workshop will cover the importance of curve warning signage, how to select the appropriate curve signage, and how to properly set curve advisory speeds, the basic rules of signage, and other options to improve safety on curves. This webinar series will help local agencies meet compliance dates for horizontal curve signage from the MUTCD.

Intro to Online Mapping (Open Source GIS)

March 25, 2025 from 10:00 AM-2:00PM PM MDT online via zoom

Online mapping or Web mapping is a process of compiling and delivering geo-spatial data in the form of an interactive web application. Online mapping services allow users to interact with geographic data, query data, finding landmarks, obtaining addresses, etc. This course provides information on current and emerging online mapping technologies and capabilities. The emphasis of this class will be hands-on experience in the following aspects of Internet-enabled mapping:

  • The basic concepts behind web mapping technologies that enable the delivery of maps and mapped data through web browsers
  • The Open Standards that facilitate the exchange of map images and geospatial data over the internet
  • The use of published standards-based services in desktop mapping applications that implement those standards
  • The deployment of Web-based geospatial map and data services
  • Creating, Editing, and Updating data online
