Highway Safety Improvement Roadside Safety efforts are targeted towards keeping vehicles from leaving the roadway and mitigating crash severity when vehicles do leave the road. UDOT uses rumble strips, cable barriers, guardrails, and concrete barriers are all used to mitigate crash severity.
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) finished a two-mile safety improvement project on U.S. Highway 191 between La Sal Junction and Hole-‘N’-The-Rock. The project was designed to improve recovery for vehicles that wander from the travel lanes by excavating into existing rock cuts and upgrading barrier to new standards or removing barrier where slopes can be leveled.
This project has been completed.
