Chapter 3
Getting It Done

Working with your community's traffic engineers or other road professionals is the critical first step to ensuring that needed roadway improvements are completed. These individuals can help you identify roadway problems and potential solutions. The next step is to broaden the base of support for addressing the roadway safety issues you have identified. The more people who share your vision and voice their commitment, the more likely your issue will receive the attention it deserves.
