Transportation professionals are involved in all three aspects of safety: Engineering, education, and enforcement. Whether it's through a downtown complete streets project or a road diet that results in a speed reduction, reduced pavement areas, improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities or safe routes to school programs, they are making a difference in the movement toward zero deaths. Even simple and subtle things they do can make a difference to safety, such as insuring the adequacy of signal clearance intervals for both vehicles and pedestrians and updating traffic signal timing, not just as a fuel-savings benefit but as a congestion management tool that helps provide a safer driving environment. When considering safety enhancements, it is also important to understand what data can tell them and how they can apply that information while developing solutions.
