Safer Speeds
Safer Speeds
Speed is a leading determinant of the severity of crashes. A person walking, rolling, or biking has a significantly better chance of surviving a crash at lower vehicle speeds.
Key Strategies
- Apply context-sensitive speed limit reductions on City and State-operated roadways.
- Encourage slower speeds using traffic calming treatments and road reconfigurations.
- Equitably expand traffic safety cameras on high-speed corridors.
