Planning for Safety STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
HIGHWAY-RAIL SAFETY PLAN

TRAFFIC SAFETY HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS

To address today’s safety issues, a coordinated, multi-agency, strategic safety planning approach is required.

As part of a statewide-coordinated effort to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, SDDOT is updating the Strategic Highway Safety Plan and developing a Highway-Rail Safety Plan. The SHSP focuses on the state's traffic safety programs, identifying programs and countermeasures that include all 4 Es of highway safety: engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency medical services. The HRSP focuses on improving safety at highway-rail grade crossings.
