What does "advance safety" aim to achieve in highway operations?

"Advance safety" in highway operations focuses on implementing proactive measures designed to prevent accidents before they happen. This encompasses a wide range of strategies aimed at identifying and mitigating risks in the roadway environment. Examples include improved signage, enhanced roadway design, and public awareness campaigns that educate drivers about safety practices.

While vehicle aesthetics, faster traffic flow, and enforcement of traffic laws are all important aspects of highway operations, they do not specifically target accident prevention in the same proactive manner. The primary goal of advance safety is to create a safer driving environment by addressing potential hazards before they manifest as accidents, ultimately leading to a reduction in injuries and fatalities on the road.
