WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) was honored today with a 2023 National Roadway Safety Award for demonstrating how increasing pavement friction helps motorists stop more quickly and retain better control at high-speed intersections.

Key Points: 
  • Florida and other states had used specially engineered material to increase friction on curves to prevent vehicles from running off the road.
  • However, this is believed to have been the first time a U.S. transportation agency has used intersection high friction treatment to reduce stopping distances and study its effect on driver stopping behaviors at signalized intersections, as is done in some European countries.
  • FDOT's two-year before and after study found that the increased friction reduced improper stopping behaviors at the three signalized intersections.
  • "It helps reduce stopping distance and improper stopping behaviors invading the crosswalks at signalized intersections."
