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!
