Federal Highway Administration Seeks Comments on Adapting Roadway Infrastructure for Automated Vehicles

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has requested the public to help identify roadway infrastructure, which will need to be modified or enhanced to eliminate barriers to motor vehicles with Automated Driving Systems (ADS). Examples include a greater uniformity in lane markings, signage and other traffic control devices. Conversely, installation of digital infrastructure and data may better enable ADS vehicles to exchange information with roadside infrastructure. Comments are due by March 5.
