roadway safety
Highway hazard prevention
Roadway safety encompasses measures, practices, and conditions that prevent accidents and injuries on roads.
It includes infrastructure design (guardrails, lighting, signage), vehicle safety features, traffic laws, and driver behavior.
Government agencies track roadway safety statistics and launch campaigns targeting drunk driving, speeding, or distracted driving: The new barriers improved roadway safety on that stretch of highway.
