Survey of Local Road Safety Practices and Perceptions Will Guide Future Investments
Posted: Nov 2, 2023
Researchers with the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute at NDSU surveyed local road managers across North Dakota and with a special emphasis on the oil-producing region of North Dakota to learn about road safety activities. Compared to a previous survey, there was a notable expansion in counties adopting low-cost safety strategies and the use of federal and state funding for safety projects. The project will provide valuable information for future policy, program refinement, asset management tools and outreach aimed at reducing crashes.
