Connecticut DOT formed a roundabout committee of professionals trained on evaluating the planning, design, and construction of roundabouts on municipal and state roads.
Florida DOT identified hot spots for driver behavior across its District 2, allowing them to develop countermeasures to address poor behavior and crashes in those locations.
Traditional traffic control devices were failing on high-speed roads in Florida. FDOT saw significant and sustained reductions in extreme speeding after adding speed shields to S.R. 46. The speed shields are an innovative, low-cost countermeasure that delivered immediate and sustained speed reductions.
To identify locations with high Return on Investment for safety improvements, Florida DOT developed an advanced platform that integrates extensive data and safety metrics into one platform.
Applying a Safe System Approach to Reduce Risk at Railroad Crossings
Florida
FDOT employs multiple safety measures around railroad crossings, covering each safe system principle. Engineering countermeasures have reduced crashes, blockage, and unsafe behavior. FDOT proactively audits, inspects, and monitors for hazards.
FDOT uses a data-driven, risk-based approach to guide systemic investments. Their systemic analysis led FDOT leadership to approve $35 million in HSIP funds, plus additional state funding for safety investments.
