Add Sidewalk Realign Left Turn Lanes Audible markings

Lessons Learned

Requests must be accurate, detailed, data drivenand complete.

Better identification of issues related to roadwaysafety concerns.

All projects need to be constructible, feasible andcost effective.

Coordination with the Local Agency Safety Team(LAST) is needed for each application.

2017/2018 Off-System HSIP (Cycle 3)

Under FAST Act

Maintains focus on safety

Data-driven

Continues the HSIP to reduce fatalities and seriousinjuries using funds for:– Safety projects consistent with State SHSP– Safety projects to correct/improve a hazardous road

location/feature or address a highway safety problem

Limits HSIP eligibility to only those listed in statute

Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs)

Vision, Mission and Goals Transportation Safety Needs Safety Strategies Performance Measures Development, Implementation and Update

Florida SHSP Emphasis Areas Lane Departures Intersections Work Zones Pedestrians & Bicyclists Aging Road Users Teen Drivers Motorcyclists Distracted Driving Impaired Driving Speeding & Aggressive Driving Occupants Protection Commercial Motor Vehicles Traffic Records & Inf. Systems

Safety Study

Study must be signed and sealed by a professional engineer.

Recommended Format

Executive Summary Location Map Qualitative Summary Crash Analysis Planned Improvements Concept Plan Cost Estimate, Benefit Cost

Analysis and Net Present Value Appendices

Crash Analysis

Five years of crash data (2011 – 2015)– List of possible causes and countermeasures (site

specific)

Use Signal Four Analytics https://s4.geoplan.ufl.edu

– If you do not have an account, you can register online.– If you use an alternate data source, you will need to

provide the data with the study.

Financial Analysis

Include a detailed preliminary cost estimate– Include PE, CEI, contingencies, and R/W if available– Inflation may be considered in the estimate if selected

Conduct Benefit-Cost (B/C) Analysis– B/C > 2.0– Use B/C tool provided at www.nfltrafficsafety.com– Use Crash Modification Factors from FHWA CMF
