| Abstract | This flyer describes how weather responsive traffic management (WRTM) can prevent or mitigate the effects of weather on traffic operations and reduce congestion. The three types of WRTM described in the flyer include 1) Advisory strategies that provide warning and other information to travelers; 2) Control strategies to regulate or optimize traffic flow; and 3) treatment strategies to ensure the roads are clear of obstructions. The result is better and more informed decision-making by agencies and the traveling public based on real-time weather and traffic information, and improved mobility, safety, and reliability of the transportation system. |
