From the article:
“Kramer said rumble strips reduce run-off accidents by 49 percent. He said rumble strips snap the driver to attention before the vehicle leaves the roadway. He said many drivers, including younger drivers, go off the pavement and tend to over-correct and either roll their vehicle or cross the center lane into oncoming traffic or fly off the opposite side of the road. This is the kind of accident rumble strips prevent.”
FHWA has long endorsed shoulder and center-line rumble strips as low cost, safety countermeasures. Read more in the ATSSA publication, “Low Cost SafetyRoad Solutions”, available on the FHWA web site.

The American Traffic Safety Services Foundation promotes “roadway safety through charitable giving and public awareness programs.”
PSS is a member of the American Traffic Saftey Services Association (ATSSA), of which ATSS Foundation is part. Tim Cox, our National Sales Manager, recently served as ATSS Foundation President.
ATSSF will hold the shooting event on February 22, right before the annual ATSSA Traffic Conference and Expo.
From the press release:
“The new event offers participants and sponsors alternative fundraising or sponsorship opportunities versus those available during the traditional golf tournament,” said ATSS Foundation President Sue Reiss. “Most importantly, we will be raising funds that directly assist those children who have lost a loved one in a work zone accident.”

Plastic Safety Systems was incorporated on this day, September 7, in 1982. We are 28 years old today.
The picture is from our 25th Anniversary celebration, held at ATSSA Expo, in New Orleans, in 2008.
We served a New Orleans lunch buffet of red beans and rice, shrimp gumbo, local assorted pastries, and a whole lot of draft beer. As you may imagine, we were a very popular booth.
