Rumble strips are grooves or rows of raised pavement markers placed perpendicular to the direction of travel to alert inattentive drivers. As a vehicle passes over the rumble strips, noise and vibration are produced which alerts the driver they are approaching a hazard.
 
Highlights of Rumble Strips in Mississippi include:
 
• Establishment of a MDOT policy to install shoulder rumble strips or edge line rumble stripes on all new construction projects and all pavement rehabilitation jobs.
• MDOT being the first state DOT to use the edge line rumble stripe, which provides for better visibility of the edge line pavement stripe in inclement weather and at night.
