Highway Safety and
Accident Reconstruction
JRLA can provide a comprehensive analysis of roadway elements and their contribution to the occurrence and severity of traffic accidents.
Applying Research and Standards to Highway Safety Evaluation
JRLA's experience in highway safety, vehicle dynamics, and accident reconstruction allows us to thoroughly assess the role of roadway conditions, traffic control devices, and highway safety appurtenances in an accident. We are well versed in relevant highway-safety standards and treatises, including the MUTCD and AASHTO policies, and can evaluate accident sites for their compliance with applicable standards and the role of non-compliance in an accident.
