​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Phoenix Road Safety Action Plan

What will the Road Safety Action Plan do?

​Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of data and current conditions

Establish a clear vision and mission to unite residents, stakeholders and staff across multiple city departments with a common goal

Determine a High Injury Network (HIN) that identifies problem locations and helps determine solutions and prioritization

Provide inclusive public engagement in the planning process

Create new and modernize existing safety evaluation tools

Provide a system of recommendations that respond to data and public input, and connect to the 4 E's of Traffic Safety: Evaluation, Engineering, Enforcement, Education

The Four E's of Traffic Safety

The Street Transportation Department has been proactively investing in the Four E's of Traffic Safety: Evaluation, Engineering, Enforcement and Education. The Phoenix RSAP will further integrate the 4 E's and provide a road map for the city to hone a 'safety first' proactive stance in reducing roadway related fatalities and injuries.

• Evaluation is benchmarking efforts to measure effectiveness of implemented initiatives
  
• Engineering identifies tools and resources needed to successfully address roadway safety items that include roadway design, traffic engineering, maintenance, operation and planning
  
• Enforcement is ensuring users of the roadway are following the rules
  

• Education is conducting communication campaigns and initiatives that promote and teach safe roadway user behavior including people driving, riding transit, walking and bicycling​
