Bad Decisions Can Make Your Roads More Hazardous!
As an elected official, your communities depend on your ability to make informed decisions about issues that impact their everyday lives.
Many decisions can be made based on your common sense business practices, but others require some technical understading to make a
sound desicion. Traffic safety is one of those areas that you, as an elected offical, need to understand to ensure safe roads
in your communites. If you don't have a basic understanding of the field, what makes "common sense" to you could actually make the
situation worse.
This workshop provides elected officials the background knowledge needed to understand and make decisions relating to traffic safety.
It will help you understand issues affecting the safety of your roads so you can make smart decisions for your constituents.
This workshop addresses traffic safety issues associated with traffic signs and signals, as well as addressing
roadway operating and design characteristics that can add or detract from safety.
Why Should I Attend?
This workshop is designed specifically for city council & commission members, township boards, county commissioners, and other local
officials who need to understand traffic safety issues, and who want to make good decisions to improve the safety of your
roads. The workshop is presented in plain language that is easily understood by a non-technical audience. You do NOT need an engineering
background to participate. Bring your questions about your roadways to discuss as a group to gain insight into the traffic
safety issues in your community.
