Highway Safety
The Federal Lands Highway Safety Team provides highway safety and traffic operations technical support to internal FLH and FHWA staff, and external partners such as the National Park Service, United States Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Army Corps, and Tribal governments. The FLH Safety Team has members in each of the three FLH Division Offices (Eastern, Central, and Western) who work together on FLH-wide policy, procedures, and processes such as updating standard drawings and developing guidelines for the use of rumble strips or the use of guardrail on low volume roads. The team also provides services such as safety assessments and road safety audits (RSAs), safety and traffic data analysis, and technical presentations or training sessions for internal and external partners. The following are some of the products developed by the FLH Safety Team along with some of the Safety and Traffic links they find useful.
