Cranberry emergency services can now practice dealing with a vehicle crash on a busy roadway in the safety of a controlled environment.
As part of the township’s Public Safety Training campus located behind the public works building, a contractor has painted up a large patch of asphalt pavement with markers to simulate roads and intersections.
Traffic lanes, stop bars, center lanes, yield markers and traffic circles will allow emergency responders and public works employees to simulate actual intersections in Cranberry. The agencies can then practice positioning vehicles and using traffic control devices.
The project was paid for by Cranberry Township and developed as part of the statewide Traffic Incident Management Group, or PennTIME.
