The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released a report titled "Safe System Approach for the Urban Core," which outlines strategies for applying the Safe System Approach in densely populated urban areas with a mix of land uses, vehicle types, and road users. The report details the principles, elements, and frameworks of the Safe System Approach, focusing on policy, program, and project decision-making for urban safety improvements. It includes checklists to help users apply these concepts and addresses challenges unique to urban environments, such as managing urban arterials, intersections, and speed while ensuring the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users. The report also features case studies illustrating successful implementations.
