Traffic Safety Issues in Sumner County
Current data limits applying spot improvements based upon crash history on county roads
4 E’s of Traffic Safety: Law enforcement focus on behavioral and driver issues
(speeding, licensing, etc.) Education and advocacy focus on behavioral (seat belt
use, don’t drink and drive, etc.) Emergency response focus on injury prevention and
crash aftermath (time to a hospital, response times, etc.)
Engineering focus on infrastructure deficiencies and solutions (ingress/egress, guardrail, etc.)
Local planning can address some engineering issues!
