This informative webinar hosted by LCRIG (The Local Council Roads Innovation Group) features Stefano Caterino from crash cushion manufacturer SMA and Kevin McGrath from Highway Care, the specialist in innovative solutions for a safer future. It outlines:
- different types of single point hazards on urban roads
- the nature of the risk to motorists travelling at different speeds
- the safety and financial consequences of serious injuries or fatalities if measures are not installed to protect drivers and vehicle occupants.
The webinar shares important information about urban road safety, including crash test videos that indicate the seriousness of single point hazards for vehicles travelling at different speeds. It highlights the importance of installing a correctly specified and suitable protection method, outlining both common inadequate responses, and fully tested and certified crash cushions.
The webinar discusses the SMA City, Tree, and Ermes crash cushions available from Highway Care in the UK, emphasising the benefits of each product, including the small footprint, which makes these systems safer and suitable for more road layouts and urban road environments. It also explores the benefits of monitoring crash cushion locations to enable rapid emergency response in the event of a collision.
Supported by videos and data, along with the presentation from experts, this is an informative webinar for anyone involved in specifying urban roads or with responsibility for road safety.
