Abstract:
Intersection safety is and has been a major program at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

As a means to share best practices used in various locations, the FHWA and selected representatives

of the transportation community conducted a domestic scan of issues related to intersection safety:

practices and educational programs.

The goal of this Domestic Intersection Safety Scan was to reduce fatalities, personal injuries and

crashes at intersections in the United States by documenting and subsequently promoting innovative

intersection treatments and comprehensive intersection safety processes that have been implemented

in this country.

One of the primary objectives was to identify and document selected innovative intersection treatments

that have been implemented at intersections in the United States and have been demonstrated

to, or have the potential to, improve safety at intersections. Another objective was to identify and

document selected comprehensive safety processes and procedures that have been implemented by

Portland, Oregon; Charlotte, NC; and West Palm Beach, FL. This report provides a discussion on the

successes and challenges to enhancing safety for highway users.
