• Abstract:
  The Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy characterizes engineering and infrastructure-based countermeasures and strategies relative to their alignment with the Safe System Approach. The Safe System Approach aims to design infrastructure that is forgiving to human mistakes and reduces crash severity if a crash occurs. The Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy includes four tiers that are arranged from most to least aligned with the Safe System principles: remove severe conflicts, reduce vehicle speeds, manage conflicts in time, and increase attentiveness and awareness. Many HSIP projects directly align with one or more of these tiers. The data below presents HSIP projects mapped onto the four Safe System Roadway Design hierarchy tiers based on improvement subcategory. Projects that aligned with one or more tiers were assigned to the higher tier. Note that because they are all HSIP projects, the projects counted here are safety projects, meaning they aim to improve safety or reduce crashes.
