Description: | The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is using portable rumble strips to alert motorists that they are approaching a work zone. The rumble strips are in addition to notices disseminated through warning signs and message boards. The black rubber strips are placed five feet apart and are less than an inch high and look similar to miniature speed-bumps. TxDOT hopes deploying the rumble strips will help reduce the more than 16,000 crashes that occurred in Texas work zones in 2012. |
