Effectively managing the existing road network can be just as important for road safety as the physical form and structure of the roads themselves. Well designed and properly placed markings, signs and signals can control traffic movement and provide drivers with the information they need to help them with the driving task.

Continue to improve traffic management systems
Traffic management systems will be installed or upgraded to ensure traffic moves safely and efficiently.

Implement new technologies
New technology such as variable electronic message signs to provide timely warnings about road safety hazards or apply flexible speed limits in response to conditions will be considered.

Innovative safety aids, such as advisory signs activated by vehicles (eg, detecting and responding to a vehicle’s speed),
will also be evaluated.
