Engineering and Design: This chapter has the following objectives:(1) Show how to incorporate nominal and substantive safety considerations into the engineering and Design Phase of project development. (2) Provide an overview of the Design Elements that have the potential to influence safety performance. (3) Describe the steps of the engineering and Design Phase for evaluating safety. (4) Provide an overview of tools and resources that can be used to integrate safety into engineering and design. (5) Describe how substantive safety evaluation and analysis methods can aid practitioners in making engineering judgments with respect to safety in design

Abstract:

The ITE informational report, Integration of Safety in the Project Development Process and Beyond: A Context Sensitive Approach, builds upon the above referenced ITE FHWA Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach (RP) and the dialog that was initiated with ITE members in support of advancing the implementation of context sensitive solution (CSS). This report focuses on the consideration of safety in the project development process and its relationship to highway design elements considering project context from a quantitative, substantive, analytical, and technical perspective. This document was produced in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration.
