Seminole County, MetroPlan begin road safety audits

Seminole County and MetroPlan have launched road safety audits on roads identified as having high injury rates.

The review begins

The project brings Seminole County together with MetroPlan for a review focused on roads where serious crashes have occurred. The launch starts a safety-focused process involving the county and the region’s transportation planning agency.

Focus on high-injury roads

The audits will center on roads identified as high-injury locations. That focus gives county and regional transportation officials a way to examine conditions on roads that have raised safety concerns.

What comes next

The audits are now the next step in the county and MetroPlan’s work on these roads. Their findings could help inform future discussions about transportation safety, but the launch itself marks the beginning of the review rather than a final decision on changes.

WKMG reported on the launch. The station’s report is available here.
