EDC Exchange for Local and Tribal Agencies

High Friction Surface Treatments

Webinar June 26, 2-4 p.m. (EST)

As part of the safety focus area of the Every Day Counts (EDC) initiative, the Federal Highway Administration is promoting High Friction Surface Treatments (HFST). HFST are the site-specific application of high-quality, durable aggregates using a polymer binder that restores and maintains pavement friction where the need for a safer pavement surface is the greatest. Transportation agencies that apply HFST to spot treat their problem locations can reduce a high percentage of the Roadway Departure crashes and wet crashes on their roadways. This EDC Exchange will present information on HFST and how this technology can help you to improve safety for all users at curves, intersections, ramps and bridges in your jurisdictions. The Exchange will present a more in-depth look at how state and local agencies are implementing these innovative designs to solve some challenging problems.
