Highway Safety Manual
Hi there, kiddo! Do you know what a highway is? It's a big road where cars, trucks, and buses drive really fast to get from one place to another.
Now, imagine you're driving on a highway and suddenly there's a sharp turn you didn't see. That could be dangerous, right? That's why grown-ups who build and design highways have something called the Highway Safety Manual.
The Highway Safety Manual is like a big book with lots of rules and recommendations for making sure highways are safe to drive on. It helps grown-ups figure out things like where to put traffic signs, how to make road markings, and how to design highways so that drivers can see what's coming up ahead.
The book is made up of lots of different sections, each about a different aspect of highway safety. Some sections talk about things like curves, intersections, and bridges. Others talk about things like how to decide how fast drivers should be allowed to go on a particular stretch of road.
By following the rules and recommendations in the Highway Safety Manual, grown-ups can help make sure that highways are safer for everyone who drives on them. So, next time you're in a car on the highway, you can feel better knowing that grown-ups have worked hard to make sure you're as safe as can be.
