Alternate Route Signing Aimed at Helping First Responders, Reducing Secondary Crashes.

摘要

The purpose of this project was to develop a guide for alternate, signed route options in response to emergency incidents for freeway corridors on Interstate 94 in MnDOT District 3 and I-35 in District 6. Such signed routes would allow Minnesota State Patrol or other authorities to direct traffic off the congested freeway onto routes on which previously erected, permanent signs guide traffic through a viable, regulated route back onto the freeway. An alternate route operations guide would establish procedures for when and how to implement such routes and enhance interagency communication during these events.
