Abstract:Concerted, well-coordinated, and performance-driven efforts are needed by state and local agencies to achieve North Carolina’s strategic safety goals since pedestrians and bicyclists continue to experience a high injury and fatality rate in traffic crashes. This report summarizes the development of the North Carolina Pedestrian and Bicycle Road Safety Assessment Guide, for use by North Carolina agencies to improve the safety project development process. The Guide aims to foster an inter-agency collaborative and data driven approach to identify pedestrian and bicycle safety problems, diagnose problems through road safety assessments (RSAs), identify potential countermeasures, and document the results in RSA reports. The RSA report can be used as a detailed plan for longer-range safety project development and to identify more immediate safety improvements such as signal timing changes, re-channelization, or enhanced enforcement. There are challenges for local and regional agencies and NCDOT to implement this approach primarily resulting from limited resources and staffing levels across all of these agencies, but through incorporation of these activities into regular work processes, it may be feasible to streamline and sustain such activities to enhance safety in NC communities.
