Three Types of Safety 1) Statistical Safety 2) Comfort (feeling of safety, basis for decisions) 3) Liability (following policy & standards) Primary Safety Strategies: i) slow & steady (not hurry up and wait) ii) enclosure with shade trees, road diet via right-sizing the number of lanes & lane widths, and roundabouts (not arbitrary low posted speed limit) iii) connected street network (shorter & more convenient routes) iv) multi-modal/complete streets
Complete Street: a street that is designed to comfortably accommodate those who use the street.
