ADOT collaborates with local, state, federal, and other stakeholders to enhance highway safety through coordinated programs and resource sharing.The updated Strategic Highway Safety Plan, revised after a series of public meetings earlier this year, targets key areas contributing to severe crashes in Arizona: human behavior, intersections, lane departures, vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists, and incidents on tribal lands.Proposed strategies include:Enhancing visibility for all road users and roadway featuresIncorporating vulnerable road users more prominently in planning and designReducing high-risk driving behaviorsIncreasing high-visibility enforcement at intersectionsPromoting safety measures at crash scenesThis update aligns with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe System Approach, which promotes a holistic view of roadway safety and shared responsibility.ADOT is also working on the Active Transportation Safety Action Plan, addressing rising pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities, mainly occurring on local roads.
