The action plan, which would run from this year through at least 2028, will use crash data to identify locations that need to be addressed and open up additional funding for transportation improvement projects. #Herdon #Trafficsaftey #Transportation

Queensland Road Safety News Under the Road Safety Program, the Australian Government has committed $255.7 million, with Queensland Government providing joint funding of $255.7 million, sourced through the Camera Detected Offence Program, bringing the total investment to $511.5 million. This funding will deliver 71 projects for safety upgrades on Queensland’s state-controlled roads to address identified road safety issues that contribute to vehicle crashes. Of this $511.5 million, $434.2 million has been earmarked for projects in regional and rural Queensland, demonstrating both governments’ focus on supporting our regional communities. Proposed safety projects include intersection upgrades, lane widening projects, line markings, rest area upgrades, heavy vehicle interception sites and safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. https://lnkd.in/gkmQzjRv

🌴Queensland's road safety is set to receive a significant boost with a new funding initiative aimed at enhancing infrastructure and reducing accidents across the state. The Federal Government is set to provide $17.4 million to add and improve safety measures at 31 known motor accident hot spots across Queensland, as part of the 2024-25 Black Spot Program🛣️ The Black Spot Program funds a range of safety measures at locations where serious crashes have occurred, or are at risk of occurring. These include improved lighting and line marking, installing traffic lights or roundabouts, and measures to protect vulnerable road users. https://lnkd.in/gQE-saK3 #CivilEngineering #RoadConstruction #QLDRoads #QueenslandInfrastructure #BlackSpotProgram

The State of Maryland has implemented a new Complete Streets program. The program will ensure that a range of safe options for multimodal transportation, including active transportation, are prioritized throughout all phases of project development. "The Policy shall be implemented on applicable projects starting January 1, 2025. Within six months of the adoption of this Policy, each mode shall develop a Complete Streets Implementation Approach in collaboration with the Office of Active Transportation and Micromobility at TSO, SHA, and MVA’s Highway Safety Office to identify appropriate context driven applications of this Policy that provide equitable access to safer crossings of highways, safer traversing along highways, access to transit, and convenient connections to healthy food and life’s opportunities." https://lnkd.in/eEEftyDi

A new enewsletter to help ensure #customers, key stakeholders and local #communities are informed and updated on the National Emergency Area Retrofit programme has been launched by National Highways.   SMP Alliance is delivering this programme for National Highways, creating over 150 additional emergency areas on sections of all lane running (ALR) motorway across the country. Communications and stakeholder colleagues from across the Alliance's North, Midlands and South teams have all collaborated and contributed to the newsletter.   Featuring useful details on the background of the National Emergency Area Retrofit programme, as well as the locations of all the schemes and further informative details on the roadworks themselves, the newsletter will be published at regular intervals while the works are underway to help educate customers and stakeholders on this important programme. The newsletter also supports the Alliance's 'Confident Customer' and 'Enriched Communities' outcomes, as it features progress updates along with examples of the many #socialvalue and #community #engagement activities being delivered by our schemes across the regions.   To discover more, see: https://lnkd.in/e5K8GC_N? #roads #highways #infrastructure #civilengineering #construction #customers

Opportunities for suppliers and #contractors to deliver safer roads through government's black spot funding with new #solarlighting, #linemarking and #trafficcalming measures, and the clearing of vegetation. This is a welcome expenditure by federal and state governments. 1,266 people tragically lost their lives on Australian #roads in 2023, marking a 7.3 per cent increase from the 12-month period ending December 2022. The rate of annual road fatalities per 100,000 people currently stands at 4.8, which is a 4.8 per cent year-on-year increase. #roadsafety #infrastructure #blackspots #NRATExpo Roads Australia, Austroads, Roadmarking Industry Association of Australia, Australian Flexible Pavement Association (AfPA), NTRO - National Transport Research Organisation, National Roads & Traffic Expo https://lnkd.in/gVU5v6Kb

Yesterday marked the two year anniversary of USDOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy, and MICHELIN - Mobility Intelligence was honored to add our voice to the community of Allies in Action as we work with Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) on a pilot program to help select grantees proactively use data to pinpoint risk hotspots in their road network and reduce traffic fatalities. The statistics are daunting, but collectively there’s excitement and momentum to take bold action to protect pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers and harness new technologies for greater impact. And what better way to drive that momentum than the new round of Safe Streets for All program funding just announced! Over $1.25 billion for cities, counties, tribes and MPO’s to develop innovative safety action plans and implement projects to prevent roadway deaths. https://lnkd.in/eUxPCwR3
