time and volume of traffic.
allowance for bike lanes, sidewalks.
concerns with public parking spaces on city streets.
proper street lighting.
Safe Drivers
Human/driver error (could be the primary reason of safety???)
Specific Certification for driving - buses, transport trucks, passenger vehicles motorcycles etc.
Driver education (learners permit, test for the elderly)
Professional Development Courses - Winter Driving, Defense Driving, Mine Driving, Log Road Driving
Safe Speeds
Reduces likelihood of a collision.
Reduces the severity of injuries.
Change in frequency if crashes on a street or at an intersection.
Traffic signal timing, location, and/or traffic light studies.
The need for an all-way stop? Need for speed bumps? Roundabout?
