Promoting Safety on Public Roads: Strategic Planning and Coordination

Discover the importance of safety on public roads annually, with over 42,000 traffic fatalities occurring on highways and 35 on National Forest System Roads. Learn about the Strategic Highway Safety Plan, the role of stakeholders like FHWA, Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management, and the coordination of the 4 "Es" - Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Emergency Response. Explore the significance of engineering analysis, crash data, and risk assessment for High Risk Rural Roads, and the implementation of the Travel Management Rule for mixed-use designations. Ensure projects prioritize safety and comply with state processes.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Importance of Safety

  2. Annually: • Over 42,000 traffic fatalities occur on our highways • Approximately 35 fatalities occur on National Forest System Roads

  3. Strategic Highway Safety Plan • States must work in conjunction with all stakeholders • FHWA • Forest Service • National Park Service • Bureau of Land Management

  4. Coordinate the 4 “Es” • Engineering • Education • Enforcement • Emergency Response

  5. Coordinate the 4 “Es” Strategic Highway Safety Plan • Engineering • Education • Enforcement • Emergency Response • Must consider all public roads which includes maintenance level 3, 4, & 5 National Forest System Roads • Repository of crash data • Analysis tools

  6. High Risk Rural Road • Rural low volume roads have highest fatality rates of all roads • Projects must be submitted through the individual state processes • States will prioritize based on need • Proposals must be backed by engineering analysis and crash data

  7. Mixed Use • Travel Management Rule Implementation • Restricts Use to designated roads, trails and areas • Highway Legal & non-Highway Legal vehicles will use • Some mixed use may be designated only after certain safety measures are taken • Both the Recreational Trails Program and High Risk Rural Roads should be considered
