Intersection Safety Implementation Plan Process

Step 10: Implement the Plan, Monitor Progress, and Evaluate Results

Once the intersection safety implementation plan is finalized, the State should take a number of key actions to ensure successful implementation and statewide reduction of intersection fatalities and incapacitating injuries. Suggested actions to improve the likelihood of success include:

  1. Create an oversight committee led by the State Safety Engineer and composed of at least the Governor's Highway Safety Representative and the State Traffic Engineer (or their representatives) and the FHWA Division Office Safety Engineer/Specialist. The oversight committee should meet on a quarterly basis to monitor progress, provide direction, and make mid-course adjustments. The oversight committee also should periodically report back to upper management on progress.
  2. For each countermeasure in the plan, seek or assign a staff professional as coordinator to be responsible for its successful implementation. The coordinators should provide periodic (i.e., at least twice a year) input to the oversight committee on adhering to the implementation schedules defined in the implementation plan for each countermeasure.
  3. Develop and implement a system to track projects in the plan for each countermeasure for project development progress, construction, and crash history following construction.
  4. On a bi-annual basis, make a comprehensive review of the plan. Update the plan as needed to reflect any substantive modifications or significant adjustments.
Step 10 Action. Conduct implementation, monitoring, and evaluation activities.
