Roadway Safety and Vision Zero<\/span><\/h2>\n

Roadway safety matters.\u00a0 Reducing the number and severity of crashes requires specific identification of locations, crash types, policies and more to be addressed.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Next Phase has extensive experience in urban and rural roadway safety programs including crash data collection and analysis, safety evaluations, annual reports and implementation of both low-cost improvement projects and successful transition of safety concerns into capital projects.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can apply the Highway Safety Manual and CDOT methods to generate statistical safety analyses for a community, undertake safety audits, address vulnerable road users, and can provide expertise for the development of Roadway Safety Action Plans through the federal\u00a0 Safe Streets For All initiative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Transportation Planning<\/span><\/h2>\n

Good planning should strive for the sweet spot considering vision, feasibility, and responsible innovation.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We are experienced in all levels of planning efforts including Transportation Master Plans, subarea\/corridor plans, access control plans, special events, and circulation studies.\u00a0 We have a strong understanding of how to integrate all travel modes into the transportation system in a safe and effective manner to create truly functional complete streets.<\/span><\/p>\n

These efforts reflect innovation that utilizes current thinking and best management practices coupled with a deep sense of responsibility for safety.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Transportation Policies<\/span><\/h2>\n

Policies and standards save time, can advance a vision, and create a baseline of consistency and standard of care.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We offer development of transportation policies and standards such as signal operations, signs and markings, bicycle facilities, and pedestrian crossing guidelines.\u00a0 We can create agency specific traffic engineering standards or policy refinements such as Adequate Public Facilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These efforts reflect innovation which utilizes current thinking and best management practices coupled with a deep sense of responsibility for safety.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
