There are several shoulder and centerline rumble strip design and application guidelines that can be developed based on converging findings from the existing literature and results from this research. Shoulder rumble strips may be considered for implementation on a range of roadway types, including urban and rural freeways, on- and off-ramps, multilane divided highways, multilane undivided highways, and two-lane roads.

Therefore, based strictly on safety, there is no current basis for recommending that transportation agencies change their current policies concerning the placement of shoulder rumble strips with respect to the edgeline on these other roadway types. Centerline rumble strips may be considered for implementation on a range of roadway types, including urban and rural multilane undivided highways and rural two-lane roads.

Several statistical models were developed as part of this research that predict the sound level difference in the passenger compartment when traversing rumble strips. Transportation agencies can utilize these models to develop rumble strip patterns for use on a range of roadway types and operating conditions.
