The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is enhancing safety on key state roads in Brevard, Orange, and Seminole counties by adding rumble striping to the center and outer lines of travel lanes. Rumble stripes are repeating clusters of narrow, shallow grooves carved into the roadway surface, typically along the centerline or edge lines of the road. This ridged texture generates a distinct vibration and a low-pitched rumbling noise when driven over, alerting drivers if their vehicle veers out of its lane. The installation of rumble striping helps with reducing roadway departure crashes caused by inattentive drivers and increases the visibility of pavement edges at night or during bad weather. 

These improvements will be made on roads with speed limits of 50 mph or higher that have even shoulders and lack existing auditory or vibratory pavement markings. The roadways included in this project are:
