Texas Road Builders Plan Safer Highways
The Highway Department in Texas designs roads with built in safeguards to prevent or ease crashes. Breakaway signs and light standards have largely eliminated fatalities and injuries after collisions, with 26 000 breakaway signs installed and only one minor injury across 751 noted crashes. Engineers use cast aluminum bases, panoramic floodlighting, and heated bridges to improve night visibility and deter wheel deviation from road surfaces.
