Alan Ho
Safety Engineer

The Federal Highway Administration is responsible for administering highway safety programs related to the roadway and the road user. These safety programs remove, relocate, or shield roadside obstacles, identify and correct hazardous locations, eliminate or reduce hazards at railroad crossings, and improve signing, pavement markings, and signalization.

The FHWA Highway Safety standards and guidelines are used by highway authorities to improve highway safety on Federal-Aid highways and other highways. They help in the identification and analysis of highway accident locations and highway design, construction, and maintenance. The FHWA also provides highway safety guidance and funding for traffic engineering services, speed management, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and safety management systems.
