Safety

• National Agenda for Intersection Safety - The national agenda for intersection safety was developed as a result of the information, data and discussions that occurred at the National Intersection Safety Workshop held in Milwaukee, WI on November 14-16, 2001. Readers are encouraged to provide comments on the Agenda to Office of Safety, Federal Highway Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20590. The national agenda for intersection safety should be viewed as a "living document," and as such, will be modified periodically based on comments received and actions implemented by transportation and safety agencies.
