Local governments face significant challenges in implementing road and street safety improvements. They are responsible for local roadway networks, which can vary from a few city blocks to thousands of miles of paved, dirt, or gravel roads. Most local governments have substantial resource limitations in terms of financial support and personnel. As a result, many local agencies have not developed safety programs. This synthesis focuses on identifying safety tools that can be used by these agencies in formulating safety programs. It recognizes the wide variation in the parameters of operation and responsibilities of local agencies. Also, it acknowledges that expertise in transportation safety analysis varies widely among local agencies.
