11/12/24: Free TTAP Training Webinar – Road Safety Champions – Safety Analysis Process
The safety analysis process, as part of the FHWA Safety Toolkit, is a systematic process for identifying the factors that can contribute to crashes and implementing effective countermeasures. It is a best practice method that is flexible and can be used to fit your needs. This two-hour training will cover the safety analysis process and discuss how it can be applied using two different complementary analysis methods: the traditional site analysis and the systemic analysis. Additionally, case studies will be utilized to demonstrate practical applications on the process.
Objectives:
- Explain the steps in the safety analysis process
- Identify the data/information needed to assess the safety of roadway locations
- Describe practical and low-cost countermeasures and their potential impacts
- Apply the safety analysis process in various scenarios
(10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time)

Mr. Metzger worked on a variety of issues for the Bristol Transportation Planning Organization, such a long-range transportation planning and modeling. In his role as traffic engineer for the City of Bristol, Tennessee, his duties included the collection of data for speeds, delay, and volumes for a variety of studies, such as setting safe posted speeds of curves, determining on-street parking limits and signage based on sight distance, collection of data for traffic signal warrant analyses, neighborhood traffic studies, and collection of field data to apply for long-range transportation planning. He was involved in the selection of countermeasures based on those data findings. He holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering and an M.S. degree in Transportation Engineering, both from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and retired after over 37 years of experience in Bristol.
