Sacramento River Canyon Curve Warning Systems
Started: June, 1998 Ended: August, 1999 Project ID #429861 Status: Completed
Objective
To evaluate five different dynamic curve warning systems that were installed for advance notification to motorists of alignment changes and speed advisories in the Sacramento River Canyon.
Abstract
Interstate 5 between Redding and Dunsmuir, the area known as the Sacramento River Canyon, was selected as the demonstration site for the dynamic curve warning system because of its high traffic volumes, mountainous terrain and the number of crashes specifically related to heavy trucks.
