This project will develop a major national guide to complement the Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads (GDG) and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada (MUTCDC). The guide will focus on engineering aspects while referencing the multi-disciplinary nature of road safety. It will consolidate, update and expand the knowledge contained in TAC’s Canadian Road Safety Engineering Handbook (CRaSH), a series of seven publications on road safety engineering subjects developed over the last two decades. The target audience will be employees of TAC member organizations in the public, private and academic sectors who focus on engineering but require an understanding of the broader system that influences road safety outcomes. A scoping study for the new guide, completed in April 2020, establishes key directions for the project and the anticipated deliverables.
