About

Albany Dougherty Safety Action Plan

In 2024, the City of Albany and Dougherty County, Georgia were awarded federal grant money to create a Safe Streets and Roads for All plan. This plan

  • Identified high crash locations on intersections and roadways throughout the county
  • Proposed engineering and policy solutions to increase roadway safety at these locations
  • Created a list of priorities for city staff and officials to consider as they work towards the goal of zero roadway deaths

Crash locations, project and policy recommendations, and an opportunity to provide feedback are given on the following tabs.

Projects

The Three-Legged Stool Approach

The three-legged stool approach describes the relationship between countermeasures, education/enforcement, policy, and Vision Zero (the goal of zero traffic related fatalities).

Countermeasures are roadway engineering projects that have a calculated impact on crash reduction.

Education & enforcement are tools used to inform people how to drive safely and to incentivize good driving behaviors.

Policy is a legal tool that affects leadership level decisions and staff level implementation.

Each of the countermeasures proposed for this plan were taken from Federal Highway's list of Proven Safety Countermeasures.

*Policy, education and enforcement strategies can be reviewed in the Safety Action Plan linked in the "About" tab

Proposed Countermeasures

Updates to project implementation will be shown on this page as they are available
