PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The City of Clarksville’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan is the first step in identifying challenges and solutions needed to help make our roadways safer for everyone.
The Safety Action Plan’s purpose is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and project implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit users and motorists. The Safety Action Plan is funded with a grant from the US Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.
We want to hear from you! Your feedback will help inform the study team of your safety concerns so that we may better understand and address your priorities as the study progresses.
POTENTIAL PROJECT BENEFITS AND GOALS
Identify concerns and solutions to improve roadway safety for everyone.
Connect missing links between existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
Identify safety improvements for high crash locations
Make safety resources and opportunities available to all through inclusive processes that accurately represent Clarksville’s demographics.
Prepare the City of Clarksville to apply for discretionary grant funds for project implementation through the SS4A initiative.

SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH
The Safe System approach aims to eliminate fatal & serious injuries for all road users. It does so through a holistic view of the road system that first anticipates human mistakes and second keeps impact energy on the human body at tolerable levels. This is a shift from a conventional safety approach because it focuses on both human mistakes and human vulnerability and designs a system with many redundancies in place to protect everyone.
PRINCIPLES OF A SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH:
Death and Serious Injuries are Unacceptable
Humans Make Mistakes
Humans are Vulnerable
Responsibility is Shared
Safety is Proactive
Redundancy is Critical
