Based on the prioritization framework, roadway segments were scored using the identified metrics to determine the top project locations. The highest-ranking locations were then selected for Road Safety Assessments (RSAs), which were conducted for the top 10 segments. These assessments helped identify site-specific safety issues and informed the selection of appropriate countermeasures. As a result, a set of capital infrastructure projects was developed to address safety concerns at the evaluated locations. In developing these recommendations, the following factors were considered: • Infrastructure Needs – For example, whether a location meets the signal warrant criteria for a new traffic signal
• Capital Replacement – Frequency of equipment failure and the need for system upgrades
• Federal/State Legal Requirements – Ensuring compliance with current design and operational standards • Service Deficiencies – Opportunities to improve mobility and traffic operations, particularly through signal enhancements • Leverage Opportunities – Coordination with existing plans and funding sources such as the Bond Program, Master Transportation Plan, HSIP, grants, and impact fees
