There are four factors that "Contribute to the vast majority of collisions." This detailed website discusses these: "Equipment Failure," "Roadway Design," "Poor Roadway Maintenance," and "Driver Behavior."

This resource presents an exercise for using uncooked spaghetti or drinking straws, young scholars build a model of a structure used to display and support roadway signs. Finished projects are tested for their ability to withstand the...

Students construct a model roadway with congestion and apply their knowledge of level of service (LOS) to assign a grade to the road conditions. The roadway is simply a track outlined with cones or ropes with a few students walking...

Expanding on the topic of objects in motion covering Newton's laws of motion, acceleration and velocity, which are taught starting in third grade, students are introduced to new concepts of speed, density, level of service (LOS) (quality...

Students investigate how mountains are formed. Concepts include the composition and structure of the Earth's tectonic plates and tectonic plate boundaries, with an emphasis on plate convergence as it relates to mountain formation....

Through five lessons, students are introduced to all facets of the rock cycle. Topics include rock and mineral types, material stresses and weathering, geologic time and fossil formation, the Earth's crust and tectonic plates, and soil...

See how mountainous eastern Turkey is on this relief map from the Perry-Castaneda collection. You can also trace the major roadways and rail lines.

Here is a great political map of Vietnam, showing the major cities, rail lines, and roadways. It also shows Vietnam's neighbors.

This political map of Nepal shows the many zones that make up the country. You can also find the major cities, roadways, and major trails that traverse the country. From the Perry-Castaneda Collection.

Students must calculate coefficient of friction based on the distance required to stop a car moving along a roadway.

Suppose that a car traveled up three different sloped roadways from the base of a mountain to the summit of the mountain. Which path would require the most energy? See this animation and explanation for help.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the stopping distance of a car on a roadway. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, and the initial speed of the car. Graphs...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the stopping distance and stopping time of a car on a roadway. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, gravitational...

Short descriptions of possible physics demonstrations for illustrating dichroic polarization and the role of Polaroid filters in blocking roadway glare. Suitable as an idea-generator for student projects.

Build a virtual city with City Creator. Select a city and begin dragging and dropping buildings, roofs, roadways and more.

Three views of the Pont du Gard in France. A large view, a detailed view, and a view of the roadway on the aqueduct.

National Public Radio's page on American culture considers the Burma Shave signs that graced American roadways from the late 20s through the early 60s and became an advertising success story.
