The Roads Less Traveled

Rural roads present challenges for local and tribal governments and agencies when it comes to improving safety for road users. The Federal Highway Administration has developed a toolkit and two user guides for transportation professionals and elected officials who are working to improve safety on rural roadways. "Improving Safety on Rural Local and Tribal Roads--Safety Toolkit" (FHWA-SA-14-072) is intended for local and tribal road practitioners, local public works staff, and Federal and State safety engineers. The accompanying user guides offer a step-by-step process for site and network safety analysis. The toolkit provides a single resource to assist with the identification of safety issues and countermeasures to address them, and offers guidance through the implementation and evaluation of countermeasures.
