This Pamphlet describes a drowsy driver's encounter with rumble strips. Shoulder rumble strips have proven to be very effective for warning drivers that they are about to drive off the road. The pamphlet also cautions drivers to stop trying to "drive through" their fatigue like they would drive through a rainstorm. Driving while drowsy can result in run-off-road events. Nationwide, run-off-road events account for more than one-third of all traffic fatalities. Safety tips are provided to help avoid drowsy driving. These tips are recommended by the national Sleep Foundation.
