• Abstract:
  With 100 counties and more than 800 cities, towns, and township governments in North Carolina, there is a tremendous need to ; disseminate road safety information at the local level. For safety gains to be made in NC communities there needs to be both a ; “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach. In other words, agencies such as the NCDOT routinely plan and provide for roadway ; improvements, but local government and safety leaders need to be informed about their safety problems and the full array of ; potential solutions so as to be participants in road safety decisions that impact their community. The lack of access and ; knowledge of the information needed to proactively address road safety issues is a key issue for improving road safety at the ; local level. One objective of this effort was to produce templates of comprehensive safety document (CSD) for NCDOT to ; enable the department to tailor solutions for a community’s specific highway safety issues. Templates were developed for ; Randolph county and Kinston. This project also developed a website to provide communities with guidance and a list of tools ; and resources for applicable education, enforcement, and engineering countermeasures that could be applied to address the ; community’s issues. Finally, the project also developed a marketing plan for the CSD that can be used by NCDOT.
