Lending a Hand to Local AgenciesThe Utah LTAP Center provides

many different services, all with the same goal in mind—to help local cities, towns and counties with the work YOU do to serve the traveling public. That help comes in many forms.

While many of you are familiar with these services, some of you may be less familiar with one par-ticular way we can help—special transportation projects.

Knowing that local agency per-sonnel are spread thin, and some

projects only need to be done oc-casionally, the Utah LTAP Center works to provide the personnel and expertise to conduct these critical temporary services so that cities, towns and counties can keep on do-ing the day-to-day work they do so well.

Using college student technical assistants, who are directly super-vised by the Center Director, helps keep costs low as well as gives these students a chance to see what is happening in the real world of transportation engineering.

These services include: road surface management (i.e. TAMS pavement inventory and assess-ment); infrastructure management (i.e. TAMS signs inventory and as-sessment including retroreflectiv-ity); traffic/turn counting, and road safety audits. Here are a few high-lights to help you see what we can do for you:

Transportation Asset Man-agement Software (TAMS) Pave-ment Projects. A TAMS Pavement Project starts with interest from a lo-cal agency in getting their street net-work analyzed and surveyed. The process begins with an initial bid of the foreseen work. After the bid has been accepted and a start date is scheduled, Center staff meet with local officials to obtain information on their current street network, in-cluding the amount of money they are spending per year and the types of treatments they currently use. The way that we determine how much time a project will take is based on the number of center line miles in the local jurisdiction. For example, Provo is a very large city

On the MovePage 2

July 2012

and has approximately 250 center line miles. A smaller city, like Riv-er Heights has only 10 center line miles.

The reason center line miles are important for these projects is be-cause in order to acquire a Remain-ing Service Life (RSL) number, we must drive every street segment of the jurisdic-tion and rate it based on surface cracks and dis-tress. There are a total of nine categories of dis-tress. The governing dis-tress (also known as the worst type of distress) will ultimately decide the RSL number which helps approximate how many years of service life a particular street segment has left.

Once the inventory is complete and every road segment has been given a condition rating, we return to the office and create a technical report of all the data that was gath-ered during the survey. This report includes a scenario based off the local agency's current budget and treatments to give them a look at how their current system is work-ing. We also provide an optimal/suggested plan, that enables them to see what different treatments (with varying costs) could do for their system. This is beneficial for local agencies because they can have a third party present the amount they are spending vs. the amount they might be better served by spending to their elected officials.

Once the report is finalized and complete, our director, Nick Jones, presents the collected data to the elected council if they desire. We then deliver the TAMS project to the city with a tutorial and help on the use of the TAMS software. Overall, the main goal of the TAMS pavement project is to help local

agencies see the amount of cost they can expect to spend as well as rec-ommendations and an up-to-date in-ventory of where their current street network is in terms of Remaining Service Life.

Cities that have utilized this ser-vice include (listed alphabetically): Ballard City, Bluffdale, Brian Head, Brigham City, Charleston, Draper, Garden City, Grantsville, Heber City, Honeyville, Midway, North Salt Lake, Ogden, Park City, Pleas-ant View, Provo, River Heights, Riverton, Saratoga Springs, Smith-field, Tremonton, West Valley City and Woods Cross.

Transportation Asset Man-agement Software(TAMS) Signs Projects. The initial project start -up is similar to the TAMS Pave-ment project, where we determine work to be done by center line miles

and information on the current sign network of the local jurisdiction. The way each sign is inventoried is by driving to the location and input-ting it into the system via laptop or GPS. The Signs module is capable of creating a shapefile map of signs to go along with a street shapefile, and it can determine a cost of re-

placement for signs that have been surveyed based on inspection. With the shapefile that is created, local agencies can deter-mine the number of street signs and what types of signs they are. It is an ex-cellent tool for creating a mapped inventory as well as a list inventory.

A full technical report is also composed with the full inventory and sug-gestion of signs that need

to be replaced as well as signs that are near replacement.

Some of the agencies that cur-rently using this software are: Summit County, Riverton City, Duchesne City, Provo, Sunrise City, and West Jordan City.

Traffic/Turning Count Proj-ects. These types of projects are contracted by either engineer-ing firms or local agencies that do not have the equipment for traffic counting or are not able to spare the personnel to easily collect their own data. The type of equipment used by the LTAP Center includes Nu-Metrics traffic analyzers and Miovi-sion Scout Unit counters (cameras). We also have trained staff who con-duct on-site personal turn counts.

The traffic counter is placed on the road with a placemat on top of

On the MovePage 3

July 2012

it. This counts traffic throughout a designated time period and pro-vides 9 types of data reports, and five graphs. The type of counters the LTAP Center has are NC97 (older version) and NC200 (newer ver-sion). The reports that are produced by these counters are listed below:

1. [Raw] Class Report2. [Raw] Volume Report3. Average Speed by Class Report4. Class Volume Graph5. Class Volume Report6. Date/Time/Volume/Average

Headway Report7. Date/Time/Volume/Average

Speed/Temperature Report8. Gap Time Graph9. Speed Volume Graph10. Summary Report11. Time Class Report12. Time Speed Report13. Time Volume graph14. Vehicle Percentage Graph

The Miovision Scout Units are cameras that are placed in intersec-tions and record turning count data. They provide similar information to the Nu-Metric and are just begin-ning their use with the LTAP Center.

Personal traffic counts involve having Center technical assistants go to the specified site and count cars and turning movements on pa-per. This is used when data is only needed for a few hours and placing the counters or cameras would not be cost effective.

At the end of the project, the city or town is typically given the raw data to use in their decision-making process. The LTAP Center has pro-vided counts for the following en-tities: Box Elder County, Brigham City, Cache County, Harrisville, Hyde Park, Horrocks Engineering, Hyrum, Jones & Demille Engineer-ing, Kaysville, Logan, Millville,

Nibley, Ogden, Providence, Rich-field, Salina, Smithfield, Washing-ton Terrace, and Wellsville.

Road Safety Audits. Road Safety Audits are also part of the technical assistance that the LTAP Center provides. A Road Safety Audit is the analysis of a road, fu-ture road, or street segment that has a history of high crash rates or have shown safety issues. The LTAP Center assists in these studies by being part of the team that travels to the site and collects data of possible safety concerns.

The Utah LTAP Center is here to serve, and these are just another way we can help YOU serve the public entrusted to your care.

Special thanks to Utah LTAP Center Technical Assistant, Tony

Fuentes for his help in putting this article together.

Shoulder & Edge Line Rumble Stripsby Nicholas R. Jones, P.E., Director (with excerpts from FHWA Technical Advisory T 5040.39)

Rumble strips can be an effec-tive means of reducing run-off-road crashes. The following are excerpts from the FHWA Technical Advisory T 5040.39 about this effective tool.

Run-off-road crashes account for approximately one-third of the deaths and serious injuries each year on the Nation's highways. Milled rumble strips are among the most cost-effective counter-measures available for this type of crash, since they directly address driver risk factors.

Run-off-road Injury Crashes: NCHRP Report 641 documents milled shoulder and edge rumble strips to provide statistically sig-

nificant reductions in single-vehicle run-off-road injury crashes: 10 to 24 percent on rural freeways, and 26 to 46 percent on two-lane rural roads. Reduc-tions were also shown on other types of road-ways.

Drift-off-road Crashes: Studies of milled freeway shoulder rumble strips in Michigan and New York documented drift-off-road crash re-ductions of 38 and 79 percent.

Navigational Aid in Bad Weath-er: Shoulder and edge line rumble strips may also serve as an effective

means of locating the travel lane during inclement weather since fog, snow, or blinding rain often obscure pavement markings. The vibration provided by rumble strips can assist drivers from unintentionally leav-ing the roadway in these conditions.

On the MovePage 4

July 2012

In addition to vibration, there are potential visibility benefits. Even a light rain can seriously reduce the retroreflective capacity of pave-ment markings. When the edge line marking is placed within the rumble strip, the vertical component will often still be visible under these ad-verse conditions.

While rumble strips have been extensively used in rural areas where run-off-road crash problems exist, use on urban freeways or other roadways functionally clas-sified as urban is also effective. Whether the roadway is classified as rural or urban, the use of rumbles should be determined on the merit of the cross-section and appropriate to the context. Concerns that often limit the usefulness or application include low speeds, noise for adja-cent residences, pavement width, presence of curb and gutter, and sig-nificant turning movements or other conflicts of both motorists and other road users.

Milled Rumble Strips: Most North American transportation agencies mill rumble strips into their asphalt or concrete pavement. The milling operation can be per-formed at any time, either in small quantity as part of a construction project, or in large quantity, taking advantage of the economy of scale by installing rumble strips for long sections or a number of corridors.

Safe accommodation of all road users should be considered when designing and applying rumble strips. This includes passenger and commercial vehicle drivers, bicy-clists, pedestrians, and others. Cy-

clists, in particular, are affected by rumble strips. Where shoulders are available and clear, bicyclists will often choose to use them to avoid conflicts with faster moving vehi-cles in the travel lane. However, as legal road users, they may also be in the travel lane. There are a number of measures that should be consid-ered to accommodate bicyclists.

Bicycle Gaps: Where any width paved shoulder exists beyond the rumble strip and bicycles are al-lowed to ride, recurring short gaps should be designed in the continu-ous rumble strip pattern to allow for ease of movement of bicyclists from one side of the rumble to the other. A typical pattern is gaps of 10 to 12 feet between groups of the milled-in elements at 40 to 60 feet.

Edge Line Rumble Strips: Use edge line rumble strips or a smaller offset (see A, below) where it will allow additional shoulder area be-yond the rumble strip that is usable to a bicyclist, pedestrian or other

road user. In determining the ap-propriate offset, designers should consider truck traffic in the corri-dor and the proximity of residences, which may call for a larger offset.

Noise to Nearby Residents: Citizen acceptance of a state or lo-cal agency safety countermeasure should be taken into consideration as it can affect the long-term viabil-ity of that strategy. Although rum-ble strips are not intended to be tra-versed except when a driver leaves the roadway, rumble strip installa-tions may produce noise complaints where there are nearby residences. Particularly when issues such as numbers of large vehicles, narrow lane widths, curves, or significant passing or turning maneuvers com-bine.

Use this tool in areas of your jurisdiction where it best fits, such as, winding roads in hillside areas, river bottoms, and agricultural areas where run-off-road crashes have oc-curred in the past.

Minding Our Bridges—A Team Effortby Nicholas R. Jones, P.E., Director

Bridges are important links and connect vital parts of our commu-nities together. They are usually placed in critical places in our trans-portation systems and without them emergency re-sponse is almost impossible. Be-cause of their vital importance, each local community should be very concerned about the condition of their bridges.

As most of us in the transporta-tion profession are aware, each of our structures over 20 feet long is inspected ev-ery two years. UDOT’s Structure Division performs the inspection

and provides a report on each one to the city or county responsible for the structure. But what happens after that? Are we just filing these

reports when they come in or are we actively digesting the

concerns they raise about operation and maintenance of our structures?

Many of our bridges are 50 years and older and have served their use-ful life. With conscientious main-tenance and repair we can extend

their operational life for years to come, but it does require our careful attention. Don’t make the mistake of allowing minor repairs becoming

major expenses requiring full bridge replacement.

When the UDOT Bridge Operations Divi-sion goes out on inspec-tions, they invite city and county representatives to join them. This allows lo-cal jurisdictions to work closely with UDOT to ful-ly understand what, if any, repairs need to be made on their specific structures. Problems arise in a wide variety of situations. For example, when damaged

drainage systems become clogged they can cause serious structural damage to the bridge if left unat-tended. Also, river scour under-mines bridge foundations and must be repaired before the overall struc-ture is at risk due to settlement or scour.

Mark Morrison Honored for30+ Years of Dedicated Service

excerpts from the Utah Chapter of APWA, May 22, 2012

UDOT personnel are currently performing load-limit evaluations on all bridges in the state. Some of our older bridges will likely have their capacity reduced and load-limits applied. Please assist UDOT in their evaluations and work with them in the event that one of your city or county structures needs to be posted with a reduced load-limit. A collapsed bridge needs to be avoid-ed for so many important safety rea-sons.

The Utah LTAP Center will be partnering with the UDOT Bridge Operations Division later on this summer to present a Bridge In-

spection and Repair work-shop for those responsible for locally-owned bridg-es. We will send out list-serv notices when a final date has been set. Please allow your operat ional personnel the time to attend this important training. How NOT to repair a bridge!

The Utah Chapter of APWA honored Mr. Mark Morrison’s work, dedication, and commit-ment to the organization and the citizens of Utah by renaming their Public Employee of the Year award on May 23, 2012. Mr. Morrison retired from Salt Lake City Department of Engineer-ing in March 2012. His legacy is 30+ years of dedication to quality infrastructure construction state-wide!

Prior to his employment with Salt Lake City, Mr. Mark Morri-son, worked on the construction side. He was frustrated with the government review process and specifications for construction and asserted himself by joining the Utah Chapter of American Pub-lic Works Association (APWA) in 1980.

Mr. Morrison was soon hired by Salt Lake City, took over their specifications, organized them and developed them further. He ap-proached APWA with a standards document, and the APWA Speci-

fications Committee was soon formed and chaired by Mr. Mor-rison. The Committee advanced the development of a standards document and began offering it to all local governments statewide (ca.1997). To ensure uniformity and acceptance, the engineering specifications and details are re-viewed by a quasi-governmental committee.

The result is specifications and details that provide superior infrastructure and public services for the citizens throughout the state. Today’s APWA Standards and Specifications, to include the newly released 2012 edition, have been adopted by numerous

Special Service Districts, Counties, Cities and Towns in Utah!!

I've Got a Questiona chance for local agency personnel to ask questions and get answers from our Director and other experts

Question: What is the Status of the Sign Retroreflectivity Com-pliance Deadlines?

The sign retroreflectivity re-quirements were proposed for modification with date changes of some of the compliance dates in the MUTCD, and comments were due on 1 November 2011. Were these changes ever adopted to ease the time line burdens for local govern-ment compliance?

Answer: Sign Management Plan Deadline Extended to 2014; 2015 & 2018 Deadlines Removed

Roland Stanger of the FHWA Utah Division Office recently sent us the following: “Please be aware that the final rules for the MUTCD revisions on engineering judg-

ment and compliance dates [have been] made available at the public docket...The rules have not yet been published in the Federal Register and are expected [soon]. However, a press release [has been] issued...regarding the compliance dates rule. Accordingly, both revisions are now available to the public by virtue of their entries into the docket.”

The new compliance dates are:1. The deadline to have a sign

management plan in place has been extended to 2014.

2. The 2015 deadline to have reg-ulatory, warning and ground mounted guide signs in compli-ance has been removed.

3. The 2018 deadline to have ad-dress signs in compliance has been removed.

What this means—Any sign a jurisdiction identifies as not meet-ing the established minimum retro-reflectivity levels would still need to be replaced, however:a. No specific date to replace is re-

quiredb. Flexibility to determine when

the replacement would be scheduled.

c. The jurisdiction would need to be prepared to defend its re-placement scheduling decisions if liability issues arise.

To submit your question to be an-swered, please e-mail our Director, Nick Jones at nick.jones@usu.edu.
