Approaches to Improving Highway Safety are leadby the Strategic Highway Safety Plan and include;Continuing Corridor Safety ProgramReduce the Risk of Run off the Road Collisions andImprove the Roadside:

-Install Guardrail where needed-Flatten Slopes-Remove Fixed Objects from the roadside-Install Shoulder Rumble strips-Widen Shoulders

Improve intersections:-New Signal Systems-New Roundabouts-New or Better Lighting-Turn Lanes

-Complete Median Crossover Prevention Programon Interstate and Non-interstate Highways-Reduce the Risk of Crossover Collisions on TwoLane Highways by Installing Rumble Strips-Provide Passing Opportunities on Rural Highwaysby Constructing Passing Lanes where costeffective-Eliminate At-grade intersections where warranted-Provide Adequate Pedestrian Facilities-Improve work zones.-Modernize Highway Safety Features andGeometrics
