Enter Passcode ag4^1+e. at the Prompt

In this webinar, state DOTs and local agencies presented on successful projects that use modular designs and materials to advance road safety and highlight policies supporting accelerated delivery of road safety projects. Presentations focused on installing a modular roundabout on a State rural road, implementing modular pedestrian crossings on local roadways, and delivering a program to implement modular safety projects as part of maintenance. 

In 2023, 41% of roadway fatalities occurred in rural areas despite only 20% of the population living in rural America. To help address this, FHWA launched its 2026 Rural Road Safety Webinar Series, which features presentations and panels on innovative and effective practices that save lives on America’s rural roads.

Transportation professionals working in state, regional, local, and tribal transportation agencies are learning how to implement proven and promising strategies, tools, and technologies that accelerate delivery of effective and innovative safety projects and programs to advance a Safe System for all users in rural areas.
