What is a safety corridor?

A safety corridor is a designated stretch of road or highway where enhanced safety measures are in place to improve traffic flow and reduce accidents. These measures may include increased law enforcement presence, improved signage, increased lighting, and modified roadway design.

Safety corridors are typically identified based on a history of high accident rates or specific safety concerns such as speeding, distracted driving, or impaired driving. By targeting these areas with additional resources and safety measures, officials aim to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities on the road.

In addition to increased enforcement and infrastructure improvements, safety corridors may also include public education campaigns to raise awareness about safe driving practices and the importance of following traffic laws. These efforts are intended to create a safer driving environment for all motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists using the road.
