摘要：	Intersection safety is and has been a major program at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). As a means to share best practices used in various locations, the FHWA and selected representatives of the transportation community conducted a domestic scan of issues related to intersection safety: safety management and comprehensive safety processes, traffic control devices for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists, traffic operational practices, geometric design treatments, and enforcement practices and educational programs. The goal of this Domestic Intersection Safety Scan was to reduce fatalities, personal injuries and crashes at intersections in the United States by documenting and subsequently promoting innovative intersection treatments and comprehensive intersection safety processes that have been implemented in this country. One of the primary objectives was to identify and document selected innovative intersection treatments that have been implemented at intersections in the United States and have been demonstrated to, or have the potential to, improve safety at intersections. Another objective was to identify and document selected comprehensive safety processes and procedures that have been implemented by transportation agencies specifically to improve intersection safety. A total of five locations were visited during this scan: Southeastern Michigan; North Central Texas; Portland, Oregon; Charlotte, NC; and West Palm Beach, FL. This report provides a discussion on the successes and challenges to enhancing safety for highway users.
