Public Roads, FHWA - 12/15/2016
As a means to address traffic - related fatalities and injuries on the Nation's roadways, the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Safety employs a focused approach to safety. This approach is built around three technical focus areas - - roadway departures, intersections, and pedestrians/bicycles - - and prioritizes resources and efforts to help States and local agencies address their road safety needs. More specifically, the Intersection Safety Program focuses on the many variables that influence safety at intersections, from behavioral factors and special users to intersection design and facility type - Shared Mobility: Current Practices and Guiding Principles (.pdf)
