Providing information to commuters on all these travel options is also critical. In the Los Angeles area, the 1- 800-COMMUTE telephone number provides information on all modes. This system allows commuters to easily obtain information on alternatives to driving alone. The partnership in the Los Angeles area is committed to developing and operating an extensive HOV system. You will have the opportunity to see many elements of this system on the tours over the next few days. In addition to the fixed facilities, extensive ridesharing programs, bus services, and marketing efforts are also being used. All of these elements are focused on providing quality services that commuters will find attractive enough to change from driving alone to using an HOV. The system must be safe, secure, and convenient. Thank you and welcome to California. We do not have An issue currently being examined in California and in an earthquake scheduled for today, but

    **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 for Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Be

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 For Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Beginning the week of August 21, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will make temporary changes along westbound Foothill Freeway (I-210) from Lincoln Avenue to Foothill Boulevard. Construction crews will restripe and shift lanes towards the median. Both eastbound and westbound inner shoulders will be used as traffic lanes. The eastbound inner shoulder will become a temporary bypass lane for westbound traffic. A concrete barrier will separate the eastbound traffic and the westbound bypass lane for the safety of motorists. Two outer lanes on westbound I-210 will close as crews begin to replace the pavement along the freeway. The bypass lane allows all traffic lanes on westbound I-210 to remain open while work is underway, which will be in effect through spring 2018. The Foothill Freeway is a major thoroughfare, serving commuters between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. As a result of heavy use, the road needs to be replaced with new pavement. The temporary traffic lane shift and closures are part of a $148.5 million pavement rehabilitation project on I-210. Once the project is completed in 2018, the new surface will provide a smoother drive for motorists, reduce time required for maintenance, and minimize the need for further lane closures. Motorists are advised to “Be Work Zone Alert.” WHAT The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will close one lane of the eastbound Foothill Freeway (1-210) from Ocean View Boulevard to Lincoln Avenue as part of a pavement rehabilitation project.
  • Roundabouts Applying the 'System'

    Roundabouts Applying the 'System'

    Roundabouts Applying the 'System' to Roundabouts Let us suppose that you are on a dual carriageway approaching a roundabout (400m away). You are currently in the left lane and you intend to turn right at the roundabout. Information: - Take - You see the roundabout and its triangular warning signs in the distance. There are no vehicles between you and the roundabout but you see vehicles on the roundabout. Mirror check. There are two vehicles behind, both in the left lane. - Use - You know that you have to change to the right lane and that you will need to signal to change lane and then to signal continuously on the approach and through the roundabout (the standard Highway Code procedure for turning right at a roundabout)- Give - After checking your mirrors you signal right to the vehicles behind. Position: The right signal remains on for a few seconds and then gradually you move to the right hand lane (Information-Use/Give). When the manoeuver is complete you cancel the signal. After a few more seconds the right signal is re-applied to confirm to the drivers behind that you intend to turn right at the roundabout. Information: The speed and position of the vehicles behind are monitored as you approach the roundabout. An assessment is made of the movement of vehicles on the roundabout and those approaching it from the right and left. You look over the roundabout to see, if possible, vehicles approaching it from the opposite direction (Information-Take). Speed: As you approach the roundabout you begin to brake and lose speed smoothly and progressively (Information-Give).

    Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of This Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California

    Barbara Bogo FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oldcastle Precast MARCH 2017 (888) 965‐3227 [email protected] Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of this Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California PASADENA, Calif. (MARCH 2017) – Precast concrete highway pavement slabs are increasing in popularity for use in rapid highway construction. This is, in part, the result of many state departments of transportation recognizing the efficiency of the precast slab method and selecting it for use on an increasing number of state projects. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has specified precast concrete pavement slabs for one of the largest projects of this type in North America, the Pavement and Slab Replacement Project on the Foothill Freeway (I‐ 210). This transportation project, approximately 12 miles north of Los Angeles, begins at the Dunsmore Avenue undercrossing in La Crescenta‐Montrose and extends to the North Los Robles Avenue overcrossing in Pasadena. Flatiron West of Chino Hills, California, has appointed Oldcastle Precast of Fontana, California to supply several thousand precast highway pavement slabs for this $148 million project. As a national precaster who has embraced this technology, Oldcastle Precast, a leading provider of engineered building product solutions for North American infrastructure projects, received the contract to manufacture 6,500 precast concrete pavement slabs. Each slab measures 12.5‐foot ‐wide by 11.33‐foot‐ long by 12‐inch‐thick, for the 9.7‐mile segment of I‐210, and will be used to replace sections, that have undergone erosion and deterioration due to years of exposure to heavy traffic. Site installation of the pavement slabs is occurring as an overnight process.
