| Abstract | The Georgia Department of Transportation working with the FHWA has demonstrated the ability to construct the “Safety Edge” with no impact on production and at less than 1% additional material costs. Based on the successful performance after one year in service, GDOT intends to incorporate the “Safety Edge” design into all resurfacing projects beginning in 2005. Local city and county governments in Georgia, such as Gwinnet County, are also making the safety edge part of their routine overlay design. Other state SHA’s, such as Indiana DOT and the NY DOT, are implementing the safety edge on several pilot projects in 2005. |
