The Federal Highway Administration released a new resource entitled Integrating the Highway Safety Manual into the Highway Project Development Process. The guidebook provides examples of opportunities for integrating the HSM into all phases of project development such as, planning, alternatives development and analysis, design, operations, and maintenance. The application of safety analysis tools such as the Integrated Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM), SafetyAnalyst, the CMF Clearinghouse and NCHRP 17-38 spreadsheets are also discussed. The HSM Integration guidebook is intended for practitioners of state and local agencies who want to reduce crashes and improve overall safety on their projects.
