Safe Corridors

Moving Toward Zero Fatalities

A "Safe Corridor" is an area or segment of highway identified as such due to increased accident rates, fatalities, traffic volume, and/or other highway traffic criteria. These corridors experience a crash rate of 50 percent over the state average and have sustained 1,000 or more crashes over a three-year period. All Safe Corridors are under the jurisdiction of the department of transportation of the state in which they are located.

How Do Safe Corridors Benefit You?

Once a segment of highway is designated as a Safe Corridor, a combined effort of public education, engineering improvement projects, and enhanced enforcement is coordinated by the state's department of transportation, state police, municipal police, and local government.

Dedicated state funding ensures that expanded resources are available to ultimately reduce collisions, increase traffic flow, and provide a safe driving experience for the public.
