Safety Edge
Town of Farmington

Information:

Project was a part of the town's routine 20 year paving program

2-lane 2-way roadway, ADT 1,800

Decision to implement was not based on crash data, but on roadway configuration and interest in trying a new technology to improve roadway safety.

The Safety Edge? paving technique minimizes vertical drop-off at the pavement edge to make it easier for vehicles that drift off the road to return safely.
