HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM: A STATUS REPORT

The highway safety program consists of improvements to the driving environment that promote safety. The National Emphasis Program, which addresses the need for and methods to achieve highway safety, emphasizes (a) accurate identification of accident locations, (b) development of traffic engineering capability, (c) development of skid accident reduction programs, (d) use of uniform regulatory and warning signs, and (e) development of safer pedestrian crossings. This paper relates the states' activities in these areas.
