Meridiana

The purpose of this project was to convert the existing at-grade crossing of Brazoria County Road 56 (CR 56) and State Highway 288 (SH 288) into a diamond interchange that includes a new overpass bridge and providing access to the newly developed Meridiana Development. Coordination with TXDOT, area landowners, utility companies, and Brazoria County was integral in obtaining approval and acceptance of the project. The main design challenge for this project was to accommodate double intersections on the west side of SH 288 to tie into existing access roads with two-way traffic and a new southbound on-ramp within a close proximity. EHRA coordinated with TxDOT throughout the project from preliminary concepts for the intersection and bridge through final design and construction. Each component of this project was designed in accordance with TxDOT standards and criteria.

Lights and Lasers for Driving

Admin

With the phenomenon of smart phones, texting has become enormously popular. A city of South Korea installed flickering lights and laser beams to remind texting drivers to pay attention to the road.

If a person is texting a driving, yellow, red, and blue LED lights will flash to drivers. Along with drivers, pedestrians who are walking and texting will be warned by laser beams from nearby light poles. If pedestrians don’t notice the flashing lights, an alert will pop up on their phone. So far, it has had a 83.4% success rate.

With other countries starting this trend and having success rates, it's only a matter of time before it makes it this way.
