The Hunterdon County Department of Planning and Land Use is developing a Local Safety Action Plan to improve safety on county and municipal roadways in Hunterdon County. This safety plan is being developed with support from the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA).
Local Safety Action Plans create a framework for focusing safety activities toward addressing the most pressing needs and matching safety problems with effective solutions. They are an important call to action to reduce and eventually eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes on all roadways.
Local Safety Action Plans seek to improve safety for all road users, in keeping with the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) National Road Safety Strategy and Safe System Approach.
goHunterdon is participating as a member of the Local Implementation Committee, along with a multi-disciplinary group of local stakeholders, to help guide the project team in identifying safety issues, selecting and prioritizing proposed improvements (including infrastructure projects), implementation and monitoring efforts, and identification of appropriate community engagement strategies.
The project kicked off this month and is expected to conclude in early 2025.
