Sample Letter to County CommissionThe Federal Highway Administration, Wyoming Department of Transportation, and theWyoming Local Technical Assistance Program were invited to conduct road safety audit reviewson five ____ County roads. The reviews were conducted with two objectives: 1) serve as a pilotin development of a safety review process for local roads, and 2) make recommendations forpossible safety improvements on the reviewed Park County roads.Recommendations from the reviews are attached.I would like to extend our appreciation to county person for his efforts with initiating the reviewsand his assistance in developing a national model for safety reviews at the local level._____ County should be proud of the progressive approach their personnel approach the safetyof the roads.24
Mr.______, titleMr.______, titleMr.______, titleCounty Road Safety Audit ReviewsNovember 2, 1999Roadways reviewed and the recommendations resulting from the reviews are as follows(specifics on exact locations and more details are provided in the review notes):RURAL MAJOR HIGH-SPEED CLASSIFICATIONSeveral items were noted that could be improved if the road was ever reconstructed.However, considering the classification of the road and the cost of improvements, manyitems were recommended to leave as they are. Included are parallel drainage pipe bluntends, trees, power poles, mailbox supports, and some relatively steep side slopes.The following items were thought to be of a relatively low cost improvement that couldhave positive safety benefits and should be considered for improvement in a reasonablyshort time frame:Westbound:· relocate curve sign further upstream· delineate roadside where roadway narrows at horizontal curve and a relativelysteep slope exists (two locations)· replace non-standard speed limit signsEastbound:· replace curve sign with a curve/intersection warning sign· relocate mailboxes· relocate curve sign further upstream· replace curve warning advisory speed plate to be consistent with oppositedirection· add delineation to clearly define edge of roadway cross-section· install a STOP signThe following item was thought to be of such a nature that we recommend theimprovement be initiated as soon as possible:· Install delineation where roadway alignment is not consistent with the power polealignmentThe following items were considered to be of such a nature that they would haverelatively high safety benefit if corrected, but are of relatively high cost for thisclassification of roadway. Therefore, it is recommended that they be considered forimprovement if major reconstruction occurs on the roadway at or near these locations.· Driveway approach in poor location· Westbound view blocked by fence, restricted sight distance25
