| Abstract | The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Road Weather Management Program (RWMP) recently published a document titled Guidelines for Disseminating Road Weather Advisory and Control Information (FHWA-JPO-12- 046). The guidelines are intended for use by individuals and organizations responsible for designing and communicating road weather information to the traveling public. It helps develop messages that support traveler information needs and allow them to make safe and effective travel decisions through clear and understandable information pertaining to inclement weather. In addition, the guidelines are intended to encourage increased consistency across the country in the framing, delivery and content of road weather information, thereby supporting a seamless national traveler experience. The RWMP encourages widespread use of the guidelines and seeks feedback to support continuous improvement of the guidance based on user experience. |
