BEST PRACTICES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SHOULDER AND CENTRELINE RUMBLE STRIPS

In Canada, a number of provinces have developed guidelines and policies for the implementation of shoulder rumble strips. As well, as of 2000, Alberta is the only province that has implemented centreline rumble strips. Other provinces wanting to apply shoulder and centreline rumble strips lack experience and require guidance based on other jurisdictions' results of such applications. The purpose of this document is to provide highway agencies with a summary of current practices to assist these agencies in the development of local guidelines and policies. The Executive summary provides an overview of the best practices and can be used as a quick reference to the key recommendations that are provided throughout the body of this document. (A)
