Safe System Roadway Design introduces participants to the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) initiative to eliminate roadway fatalities through a proactive, human-centered approach. The course examines roadway design strategies that anticipate human error and minimize crash severity using Safe System principles. Participants explore how to apply design elements such as forgiving roadsides, speed management, and protected intersections to create safer transportation networks. Emphasis is placed on system redundancy, shared responsibility, and integration with Vision Zero and Complete Streets frameworks to achieve “Zero Deaths.”
