Clermont County Inventory and Safety Study Program

TEC completed a countywide inventory, inspection and study program on approximately 384 miles of Clermont County roads. The studies that were performed as part of this program are described below:

Roadside Hazard Inventory Study: For this study, TEC located objects and conditions near the roadway that could present a potential hazard for vehicles. These hazards included pavement drop-offs, utility poles, large trees, steep drop-offs, and other situations of potential danger.

Guardrail Location Inventory and Inspection Study: This inventory allowed Clermont County Engineer’s Office to better maintain existing guardrails, and also provided information on guardrails that may need repair.

Sign Inventory and Compliance: This study provided detailed information for all sign locations, including reports regarding the condition of the signs.

Ball Bank (Curve Safe Speed) Study: This study evaluated the curves on the County roadway system and determined whether the curve warranted a sign to warn the motorist of a safe speed.

Pavement Marking Inventory Study: This study provided information for all of the pavement markings on the County roadway system. The information provided by TEC will allow the County to better manage the maintenance of their roadway system.

No Passing Zone Study: This study evaluated the “double-yellow” lines on the County roadway system and determined where it was warranted to break these lines to allow for motorists to safely pass.

All data collected as part of these studies was incorporated into a database and integrated into the County’s GIS system.
