Abstract:In 2015, North Carolina was among the States that reported the highest percentage of speeding related fatalities; 40 percent of traffic fatalities in North Carolina involved a speeding vehicle.1 To tackle this problem, North Carolina safety stakeholders partnered with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to develop a Speed Management Action Plan (SMAP) for Randolph County.2 The plan assessed speeding and speed management issues in the county, identified appropriate countermeasures and strategies, and outlined actions steps the State, county, and other partners could take to reduce speeding and prevent speeding-related crashes on Randolph County’s roadways. Since the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) owns, operates, and maintains approximately 80 percent of roads in North Carolina, including Randolph County’s, the State agency led several strategies in the SMAP, many of which were implemented throughout the State.
