Safe Streets for All - We Want to Hear From You!

The Town of Highland has partnered with American Structurepoint to study roadway and intersection safety needs across our community as part of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary planning grant. This study will lead to the completion of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Your input is essential in shaping effective safety strategies. Together, we can identify behaviors and attitudes that impact road safety, identify mobility challenges, and develop community-supported improvements to enhance safety for all road users.
