The Minnesota Department of Transportation's Office of Research & Innovation, along with the Minnesota Local Road Research Board, is hosting a webinar worth circling on your calendar. On July 17, road safety enthusiasts and industry professionals will be engaging in an online conversation titled 'Research Radar: Roundabout Roundup.'
Targeting topics specific to road design and safety, the webinar will spotlight a series of projects rooted in Minnesota's ongoing relationship with roundabouts. Among the featured discussions are the "Traffic Safety Evaluation of Pedestrians and Bicyclists at Roundabouts in Minnesota" and "Evaluation of Traffic Safety for Heavy Commercial Vehicles at Roundabouts in Minnesota." Registered attendees, desperate for a crash course in roundabout logistics, can also look forward to the "Mini-Roundabout FAQs" session.
Interested participants should note that while attendance is complimentary, registration is a must. It's a golden chance for those invested in the nuances of traffic management to gain insights directly from the state's leading researchers. To reserve your virtual seat, make sure to register ahead of time.
'Research Radar' is the MnDOT's attempt to comb through, with the thoroughness of actual radar, the vast expanse of transportation research to bring significant findings to light. The webinar series is a monthly affair, each iteration homing in on a different aspect of transportation research. For those who have missed the previous sessions, fear not—past webinars are archived and readily available. To access them or to find out more about the series, visit the Minnesota Department of Transportation website.
