Join Alta Vice President Joe Gilpin and Senior Designer Matt Pinder for our next Alta Innovation Series presentation on “Corner Design for All Users.” Mark your calendars for September 17 and register here.
Cities have been working independently on solutions to make intersections more compact and to better balance design decisions that pit the safety of vulnerable road users against accommodating large design vehicles. Join Alta to review a new white paper that looks at the engineering basis for more compact intersections, reviews how cities have been approaching accommodating large design vehicles with mountable aprons, and provides key lessons learned that can be applied on future projects.
