| Abstract: |
On the football field, John Madden coached his team to Super Bowl success. In the new video, Smoother Roads Playbook, he introduces viewers to the Kansas Department of Transportation's (DOT) successful strategy for achieving smoother concrete pavements. Since implementing new smoothness specifications for concrete pavements 15 years ago, Kansas has gained national recognition for its innovative techniques and construction practices. The introduction of the pavement smoothness specification "was the single most important impact on concrete paving that I've seen in my career," says Mike Lackey, former State Transportation Engineer for Kansas DOT.
As explained by the video, which was jointly produced by Kansas DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), smoothness has been promoted in Kansas not only by the new specifications but through an incentives program that compensates contractors for their extra efforts. This program and the smoothness specification in general have been well received by contractors. "The very fact that Kansas DOT has the smoothness incentive specification has raised the standard of paving in the State of Kansas, without a doubt," says Don Beuerlein, president of Koss Construction.
How have the DOT and contractors achieved these smoother pavements? The best practices advocated by Kansas and addressed in the video include making sure that the stringline, which is the primary guidance system for most paving equipment, is set precisely and protected from damage during paving. It should also be checked for proper grade and elevation before each paving operation. As the video noted, "the stringline has the greatest potential to affect smoothness." Another best practice is to maintain a consistent paving speed and avoid stopping or slowing the paver. To do this, contractors have to make sure they have an adequate supply of concrete delivered to paving sites and that delivery vehicles can move quickly and easily through a site and then back to the concrete plant. Contractors also strive for mix consistency and constantly monitor the concrete buildup in front of the paver to make sure that it doesn't get too high or low, as this can cause the concrete to swell or, conversely, a low spot to appear, resulting in a rougher pavement.

Lyrics:
Ready for action - Flagger Up
Duty calls armed with a paddle sign
Flagging one-lane traffic with a two-lane mind
Bumper-to-bumper, eye-to-eye
Standing brave I’ll meet you at that line
Flagging reckless drivers running short on time
(Chorus)
'Cause you’re talking on your cell phone
Speeding through my work zone
Trying to make every second count
You gotta get there you can’t be late
You gotta get there you just can’t wait
You gotta get there you gotta get there
Right now!
Caution and warning never ends
Facing risks watching for crazy moves
Flagging unknown venture keeping your drive smooth
Setting high standards - OSHA cares
Safety first - I’m here to help you through
Flagging highway issues for my DOT road crew
(Chorus)
Got some folks flat-out hauling
Everybody multi-tasking, beware of amber flashing
My lane keeps changing and I’m still flagging
Stop, slow, let ‘em go
Stop, slow, let ‘em go
Stop, slow, let ‘em go
(Chorus)
Flagger up!

| Abstract: |
People with disabilities often have limited transportation options, many are non-drivers and are more likely to be pedestrians and transit users. While disabled people depend on accessible sidewalks, crosswalks and transit-stops, often the pedestrian environment contains many hazards and barriers to the disabled person's mobility. This four-part video follows pedestrians with various disabilities, illustrating the hazards and barriers faced along the way, then recommends engineering and maintenance solutions to resolve them. Each of the four parts of this video are listed separately with their descriptions: see videos VH-566A Design Issues for Pedestrians Who use Wheelchairs, VH-566B Design Issues for Pedestrians with Ambulatory Impairments, VH-566C Design Issues for Pedestrians with Low Vision, and VH-566D Design Issues for Pedestrians Who Are Blind. In addition to producing this video, the US Access Board also offers free technical assistance; contact information is in the video. |
| Notes: |
This video is a must-see for public works directors, transportation engineers and planners, street and sidewalk maintenance crews and anyone with responsibility for constructing or maintaining sidewalks, crosswalks or transit-stops. |

| Abstract: |
Accessible sidewalks for pedestrians who use wheelchairs means more than just providing curb ramps from sidewalks. How the ramps and landings are designed, oriented, and maintained make an important difference to the wheelchair user's safety and comfort. This video follows two wheelchair users, one in a motorized wheelchair and the other in a manual wheelchair, through the city demonstrating the effects of bumps, ruts, cross-slopes, compound-slopes, inadequate and non-level landings at curb ramps, various curb ramp designs, access around street furniture and lighting, access to bus shelters and more. For each hazard, the proper design techniques or maintenance solutions to eliminate the hazard are explained. |
| Notes: |
This video is a must-see for public works directors, transportation engineers and planners, street and sidewalk maintenance crews and anyone with responsibility for constructing or maintaining sidewalks, crosswalks or transit-stops. |

| Abstract: |
Many pedestrians have ambulatory impairments. While some may obviously use a walker, crutches or a cane, others may not use an aid but may have a gait impairment, limited stamina, or a limited range of motion, making walking more difficult than normal. This video follows two people, one using a walker and the other using crutches, through a city demonstrating the effects of narrow sidewalks, steep slopes, slopes with no level-landings, cross-slopes, surfaces that are rough, unstable or slippery when wet or icy, and grating with holes large enough for crutch or walker tips to slip into. For each hazard, the proper design techniques or maintenance solutions to eliminate the hazard are explained. |

| Abstract: |
For the driver or on-looker, pedestrians with low vision appear the same as unimpaired pedestrians -- there is no white cane, no guide dog. However, these pedestrians may have extreme difficulty in navigating sidewalks, street crossings, and using traffic and pedestrian control devices. These pedestrians will use sight and sound to navigate, so pedestrians signals require redundancy: visual and audible cues. Signals should be standardized, well located, clear on what direction they pertain to and what they signify. The pedestrian crossing interval needs to be of sufficient length, and steps, curbs, street and crosswalk boundaries should be well designed and detectible, utilizing color and texture cues. This video follows a pedestrian with low vision, demonstrating the difficulty in navigating and in crossing streets, and making recommendations appropriate for making each situation safer. |

| Abstract: |
While drivers are mandated to yield to pedestrians using white canes, not all drivers do, and not all blind persons use a cane. Whether using a cane or a guide dog, blind pedestrians must not only navigate the sidewalks, but also avoid benches, landscape, overhanging tree branches, construction, signs, bus shelters, mailboxes, trash cans and other street furniture. And, crossing a street safely requires more than just an audible pedestrian signal. This video follows two blind pedestrians, one using a cane and the other using a guide dog, on a walk through the city, recommending best practices to accommodate blind pedestrians along the way. The key: consistency in design and effective communications. |

The advantages of the use of lime in asphalt hot mixes are promoted in this fairly technical video. Laboratory and field tests demonstrate the increased strength, pavement durability and initial stiffness achieved with lime additive. The video shows the effectiveness of lime in reducing age-hardening and low temperature cracking, and its effectiveness as an anti- stripping agent. Mixing procedures at batch and continuous drum mixer asphalt plants are also shown. |
| Notes: |
Good presentation for personnel responsible for asphalt mix design; too technical for general audiences. |
