The County of Humboldt’s Public Works Department is developing a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). Through working with engineering consultant GHD Inc., a website has been developed to help identify safety concerns on roads under county jurisdiction. Humboldt County residents are encouraged to fill out the survey and comment on the interactive map at the link below:

Background
A Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) can be a means for providing local and rural road owners with an opportunity to address unique highway safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP. The process of preparing an LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze safety problems and recommend safety improvements. Preparing an LRSP facilitates the development of local agency partnerships and collaboration, resulting in a prioritized list of improvements and actions that can demonstrate a defined need and contribute to the statewide plan. The LRSP offers a proactive approach to addressing safety needs and demonstrates agency responsiveness to safety challenges.
An LRSP provides a framework for organizing stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local roads.
