  • Safety Evaluation of Cable Median Barriers in Combination with Rumble Strips on the Inside Shoulder of Divided Roads
    Safety Evaluation of Cable Median Barriers in Combination with Rumble Strips on the Inside Shoulder of Divided Roads PUBLICATION NO. FHWA-HRT-17-070 AUGUST 2017 Research, Development, and Technology Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center 6300 Georgetown Pike McLean, VA 22101-2296 FOREWORD The research documented in this report was conducted as part of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Evaluation of Low-Cost Safety Improvements Pooled Fund Study (ELCSI-PFS). FHWA established this pooled fund study in 2005 to conduct research on the effectiveness of the safety improvements identified by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 500 guides as part of implementation of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Strategic Highway Safety Plan. The ELCSI-PFS research provides a crash modification factor and benefit-cost (B/C) economic analysis for each of the targeted safety strategies identified as priorities by the pooled fund member States. This study evaluated application of cable median barriers in combination with rumble strips on the inside shoulder of divided roads. This strategy is intended to reduce the frequency of cross-median crashes, which tend to be very severe. Data were obtained in Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri. In Illinois and Kentucky, cable median barriers were introduced many years after the inside shoulder rumble strips were installed; therefore, the evaluation determined the safety effect of implementing cable barriers along sections that already had rumble strips. Conversely, in Missouri, the inside shoulder rumble strips and cable barrier were implemented around the same time. The evaluation in Missouri determined the combined safety effect of both strategies.

  • Quilt Book for WEB 2015.Pdf
    Dear Friends, We are pleased to present Donate Life Northwest’s 2015 Threads of Life Quilt. Each square represents a personal and touching sto- ry of love, hope, compassion and courage, and serves as a reminder each and every day of the precious gift of life, sight and mobili- ty given by donors throughout the region. For transplant recipients, quilt squares allow them to express their gratitude to their donors. Rod, a grateful liver recipient, has been given the gift of the last five years (and counting!) with his wife, made possible by his donor, Shannon. Tiffany has alifetime of memories to create with her sister Nicole now that Nicole’s life has been saved by an anonymous kidney donor. For donor families, their squares not only recognize the loss of their loved ones, but provide an avenue for healing and inspiration for others. Mary, who was a quilter herself, is honored with a quilt square after helping restore sight and mobility to 22 people through her cornea and tissue donation. Daniel, who always gave of himself and helped every- one who needed it, is living on through the organs and tissues he donat- ed, providing great comfort to his family and friends. We hope that you will take the time to learn about each individual rep- resented in this year’s quilt, and be inspired by their stories included in this book. Organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation trans- forms lives every day. We would like to express our strong appreciation for those who have made the commitment to register as organ, eye and tissue donors.

  • Golden Vortex GOLDEN COINCIDENCES
    GoldenVortex.com Golden Vortex by Nick Nelson © 2007 Chapter Eight: GOLDEN COINCIDENCES We process our perception to fit a mold. −Don Juan Matus It was twenty-five years later, and this time I was sitting at Fred's living room table, rather than he at mine. There were no pyramids for him to dowse, but I did have my maps spread out, and was showing him where all the best vortexes could be found. He was more interested in where the bad ones might be, though, and asked about a certain town on Vancouver Island that he had recently visited. From his glowing recommendation, I had a hunch he was considering this as a retirement location. I think his first worry was whether the wife could be coaxed into life along a rustic, out-of-the-way Canadian waterway with no roads in or out. After witnessing my impressive map demonstrations, he might have also been concerned about the possibility of an evil vortex making the plumbing break, and his ears ring. Fred left the room, and came back with a big road map of British Columbia, which he opened on the table. I positioned my torus-shaped ring magnet over the mouth of Alberni Inlet, and dangled the little pendulum magnet close to it. He seemed happy with the complete lack of results, signifying no overt vortex nearby. In the last several weeks before this, I'd been so busy hunting vortexes to the south that I'd ignored the North. As we sat comparing stories, the Canadian map remained spread out between us, and this was a good opportunity to check it over.
