Hi everyone! ?JoAnne Chalom, Jack Mitchell and I are very excited
about doing a webinar for O&Ms on crossing at modern signalized
intersections! ?It¡¯s sponsored by the Environmental Access Committee
of AER¡¯s O&M Division, and it¡¯s free and open to everyone,
offering ACVREP credit.?
We plan to have FUN while learning, and ask each of you to go
back in history to when O&M began and our street-crossing
strategies were developed, and put yourselves in the shoes of
the traffic engineers who created the complex signals we have
today so you can understand them.
After learning all about the traffic patterns and timing and
how pedestrians and blind folks can navigate them, we¡¯ll talk
about what you can ask engineers to do when there are problems
with the signal that make it difficult to cross.
We'll send registration information as soon as its available.
Enjoy!
