One of the most common locations for fatal motor vehicle–bicyclist crashes is at intersections. A newly published report offers guidance for improving intersection safety, especially in situations where a bike is traveling straight through an intersection and a car is turning across the cyclist's path. Among the Maseeh team members were Chris Monsere (CEE/Interim Vice Provost for Faculty Success), Sirisha Kothuri (CEE) and Jason Anderson (CEE/TREC). Read the full article.
- Researchers funded by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) are developing guidelines for crosswalk design and placement; the research team includes Sirisha Kothuri (CEE). Learn more.
