Due to the amount of people that evacuated New Hanover County in the days leading up to Hurricane Florence making landfall I knew that we were not going to have to deal with the usual amount of vehicle traffic that we normally see through that intersection. The intersection of S College Rd and Oleander Dr is not big, but it is always busy and most residents avoid it at all costs if they can.

The inspiration came from roundabouts that are currently being used on River Rd, which is a semi-rural two lane county road that comes into the city from the south side of the county. To my knowledge there are very few if any traffic crashes at those roundabouts. NC requires all drivers to treat intersections as a 4-way stop when the traffic lights are out, needless to say this is inefficient at best at busy large intersections. This issue is only compounded if a crash occurs at one of these intersections.

One of the biggest issues we were facing as an agency was manpower, and a large busy intersection like this would require at least 4 officers to safely manage, if you multiplied this by all of the large intersections in town you have eaten up all of you manpower simply to direct traffic.

The concept of the roundabout it to simply keep traffic moving, slow and steady but always moving. The design I implemented allowed people to make right turns unimpeded, this alleviated some cars from having to enter the actual roundabout. Those who wished to go straight or make left turns had to enter the roundabout. Due to the design of a roundabout drivers had no choice but to slow down upon entering it. This, combined with peoples unfamiliarity of the temporary roundabout, only slowed them down even more which made things safer for all involved.

Initially we were still somewhat directing traffic due to our uncertainty on how this would actual work. However after a torrential downpour that caused us to retreat to our cars we realized traffic flowed more smoothly through the roundabout when drivers were not distracted by the officers standing in the roadway. After several minutes observing this we made the decision to stand off to the side and watch, needless to say drivers figured it out on their own and without a police officer standing in the roadway they had not choice but to figure it out on their own.

Once Mr. Bennett (Traffic and Engineering) was able to get us some temporary street signs that gave drivers a little more heads up while approaching the temporary roundabout things seemed to run even more smoothly. I believe this first roundabout operated for 3 or 4 days before power was restored to that intersection. In the meantime 3 other roundabouts were placed at other major intersections. To my knowledge only one traffic crash happened, and it was between a car and one of the temporary traffic signs not even another car, at all

four roundabouts. I have no idea how many cars went through these intersections over that period of time but I was a betting man I’d take those odds any day.

Follow up from Don Bennett, City of Wilmington City Traffic Engineer As you may well know, Wilmington was the initial landfall point(ok, technically Wrightsville Beach) for Hurricane Florence. As a result, the entire region was damaged and many signals were without power and the flooding meant that was going to be that way for a long time. You can advertise all you like that a dark signal is a four way stop, but what I can tell you is that two 6 lane cross sections with dual lefts all the way around makes for poor all way stop operations. One of our Police Traffic officers(emphasis on credit where it’s due) suggested creating a roundabout as temporary measure at one of our busiest intersections. They implemented a rudimentary design, one lane on approach(50’ tapers for 4 lanes of closure) and a “circle” in the middle. It worked surprisingly well. Traffic Engineering was called out to observe such and by the end of the next day, we had refined the design and implemented another. Day 3, another, than on day 4 the request for one outside our jurisdiction by NC State

Highway Patrol. I can unequivocally say, a single lane RAB works better than four, 5 lane approaches with all-way stop control. There are capacity issues, but it works much better, and everyone complies. The extraterritorial request one was a direct result of a all way stop failure and a nasty collision.

Understand, each intersection was consuming 12-16 officers for 24 hour operation. The above treatment got it down to 3. The PD car is parked in the middle of the circle and the officers job is to re-erect downed cones. The blue lights serve as advance warning well ahead of time that something is going on. The cones reaffirm that as drivers get closer.

Bottom line300 cones, 8 sign stands, 4 each RAB, Yield and Chevron signs, 30’ of rope, one can of spray paint and a couple hours and you have a roundabout to go....it’s not perfect by any means, but I would do it again without hesitation under these circumstances. To that end, we are preparing templates for each of our major intersections and fabricating more signs.

Can you tell what’s wrong with this picture? Turn to page 8 to see what the problem is.

Kickoff to Every Day Counts Round Five The Federal Highway Administration will promote 10 technologies and practices in the fifth 2-year round of Every Day Counts (EDC-5), the State-based program to rapidly deploy proven but underused innovations to shorten project delivery and enhance the transportation system. Among the EDC-5 innovations transportation stakeholders are encouraged to explore in 2019 and 2020 are strategies to reduce rural roadway departures, project bundling to pare construction backlogs, and techniques that use crowdsourcing to advance operations. “EDC-5 offers State and local agencies new opportunities to use innovations to save time, money, and lives,” said Thomas Harman, director of the Center for Accelerating Innovation (CAI), which administers the EDC program. “Making these innovations standard practices will help agencies serve their customers more effectively while delivering highway projects more efficiently.”

In September, CAI is offering introductory webinars on the EDC-5 innovations. Visit the EDC-5 orientation webinars page for dates and times. In October and November, transportation leaders and stakeholders will gather at regional summits to learn about the EDC-5 innovations, exchange ideas with counterparts in other States, and provide feedback to FHWA on the support and resources they need to adopt the innovations. Summits are scheduled for Baltimore, MD; Albany, NY; St. Louis, MO; Portland, OR; and Orlando, FL. After the summits, State Transportation Innovation Councils (STICs) will review the EDC-5 innovations being promoted and decide which fit the needs of the agencies and highway programs in their State.

Starting in January 2019, EDC-5 deployment teams will provide technical assistance, training, and resources to help transportation agencies and stakeholders adopt the innovations. FHWA will also offer deployment assistance and incentives through its STIC Incentive and Accelerated Innovation Deployment Demonstration programs. While the countdown to EDC-5 is underway, efforts to support deployment of the EDC-4 innovations will continue until the end of December 2018.

Learn About EDC-5 Innovationshttps://www.fhwa.dot.gov/innovation/everydaycounts/edc_5/edc5-orientation-webinars.cfm

The Center for Accelerating Innovation will offer a series of introductory webinars on the 10 innovations included in Every Day Counts round five (EDC-5) that the transportation community will deploy in 2019 and 2020. Scheduled for September 10 to 26, the 90-minute webinars will describe the benefits of each innovation, provide examples of how the innovation is being used in transportation programs, and identify resources available to facilitate deployment. See the schedule and register for individual webinars at the EDC-5 innovation orientation webinars page.

Town of Mint Hill vs Town of Matthews

At the APWA Streets and Fleets Division Conference we enjoy getting together for some social time called attitude adjustments. A long time favorite is the corn hole tournament which provides both competition and time to hang out with friends from different towns. While ultimately neither Matthews nor Mint Hill (both long time LTAP supporters) took the championship, their “grudge match” was certainly fun to watch.

The 2018 Accelerating Safety Activities Program (ASAP) is designed to help Safety Focus States promote safety innovations. The NC LTAP applied for and received funds to offer the Traffic Calming Workshop across the state with special emphasis on bike and pedestrian safety, including information on intersection safety at four locations across the state, free of charge.

This training was developed to teach transportation agencies how to slow and calm traffic on their local street network in order to reduce roadway departures, reduce intersection collisions, and reduce bicyclist and pedestrian crash incidents. Special emphasis is placed on the proper design and implementation of intersections as they

Traffic Calming Workshoprelate to slowing down car and truck traffic in order to be aware of pedestrians and bicycles and/or to reduce cut-through traffic on streets with a significant pedestrian and bicycle presence. Specific examples of traffic calming measures will be discussed along with the impact they have on speed, volume and collisions. Also on the agenda is a discussion of how traffic calming effects emergency response time.

These classes will be held in November in Asheville, Salisbury, Greenville and Wilmington. To register visit https://itre.ncsu.edu/focus/ltap and click on the orange cone.

The Training Resources Workgroup of the National LTAP Association have developed these Tailgate Safety Briefing Packages for you to use in periodic safety talks with your crews. Below are suggestions on how to use the materials found at:

http://www.t2center.uconn.edu/tailgate_talks_for_ltap_center_use.php

Tailgate Safety TalksGoing by many different names, these are a staple of safety programs with public works agencies across the country, as well as safety-conscious contractors. They can take place as often as you find helpful. They can be held weekly or monthly or in connection with a new activity or season. They are intended to be short and focused so that, over time and together with your existing practices and policies, they help build a culture of safety within your crews. As a service to our local agencies, our intent is to provide supervisors with packages of materials, targeted towards a broad array of public works equipment and practices, that will make it easy for you to carry out these important talks.

The idea of a tailgate safety talk is to take a discrete activity, practice, or piece of equipment and drill into it quickly in a way that is relevant to what your crews are doing or are likely to encounter. Typically, we’ll talk about the dangers or risks, some best safety practices, perhaps some statistics, and try to relate case studies from OSHA or elsewhere.

You can carry out tailgate safety talks however you find best, but some guidelines to consider include:

• Hold talks on a regular basis – weekly or monthly – so crews get used to them and see them as a regular part of the job and see them as a resource for their protection.

• Keep them short – they are focused on a specific, limited topic, so they needn’t be more than 10-15 minutes long.

• Time them right so they don’t “interfere” with the work – the beginning of a work shift is a great time, but they can also be part of a “lunch and learn” session.

• Refreshments – always a good idea if you can make it happen. If it’s a morning briefing, coffee and pastries will get their attention. If it’s a lunch time thing, you can bring in sandwiches or pizza.

• Include props when you can. If the topic is ladders have one or more at the ready to point to or demonstrate with. If it’s fall protection, have a harness on hand.

• Leave time for questions and encourage interaction.

• Keep it light – these safety topics are serious business, but the

Tailgate Safety BriefingsInstructions to Supervisors

talks should be light-hearted and presented positively. They are not the place to single out crew members about incidents in the past (although you can certainly make reference to them in a non-critical way).

• Incorporate your agency’s policies and the specific challenges of your equipment, geography, climate, personnel policies, safety requirements, and so on.

• Later…lead by example. If your crew members see you practicing what they heard from you during the talk, it can be a powerful tool. However, when you fail to practice what you preached, it can quickly undermine your safety culture.

What’s in the Package?For a typical topic you will find some or all of the following:

• Supervisor notes – designed for you to administer the session, with suggested points to cover, questions to pose, related topics that you can cover in future talks, and resources for those who want to dig a bit deeper.

• Handouts – you can print these out in color or black and white for the crew members to follow along and refer to later.

• Posters – these will often be in 8½”x14” (legal size) and 11”x17” (ledger size) and can be printed in color or black and white to be posted at appropriate places in the shop and other work places.

• Cards – these can be printed in black and white, cut to size, and laminated to hand out to crew members to carry in their equipment with them.

• Sign in sheets. More than to just show active participation in safety training by your employees, these can also be used as positive documentation of your agency’s commitment to safety should an accident occur.

Our goal is to supply you with everything but the tailgate!

We sincerely hope these materials help make it easier for you to develop or maintain a strong safety culture in your agency so that your crews will be as safe as they can be in what is by its nature a dangerous business. Remember, safety is no accident.

Your first reaction is probably that it is obvious – these guys are not wearing proper safety attire. They are wearing T-shirts instead of Class 2 or 3 garments. However, there is another issue here.

Section 6E.07 of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices mandates that the use of hand movements alone, without a paddle or flag to control road users, shall be prohibited – except for law enforcement personnel or emergency responders at incident scenes.

Get the Picture!by Timothy B. Baughman, PE

While it is perfectly legal for police, fire fighters and EMS to direct traffic with their hands, it is illegal for us workers to do so. We must use a STOP/SLOW paddle for planned operations, or a flag in emergencies.

If you have any questions about worker safety and work zone traffic control, give me a call at (919) 515-8654, or e-mail me at tbb@ncsu.edu.
