16. Abstract A Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) provides a framework for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing roadway safety improvements on local roads. While several jurisdictions have adopted this approach as a tool to improve safety on their local roads, a large number are finding it difficult to go from development of the plan to implementation. This report documents the difficulties experienced when moving plans through to implementation and strategies jurisdictions and States have used to overcome those barriers and challenges to achieve reductions in fatalities and serious injuries on local roadways. The report details several steps for successful LRSP implementation. For each step the report describes the challenges and roadblocks that States and localities face in implementing the step, how various States and localities have addressed those challenges, and recommendations for future action. |
