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. The FLH Safety Team has members in each FLH Division Office 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.
