摘要: The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is located in the Western Pacific Ocean. It consists of fourteen (14) volcanic islands with the Island of Saipan established as the Capitol and serves as the hub of the central governments functions and operations. It is located within a major trans-pacific travel route with daily sea freight forwarding and air passenger services arriving from the United States, European, and Asia countries. On the global scale, it is strategically located at an international crossroad that provides convenient access to United States and the Far Eastern Countries. Tourism is the only viable industry for economic growth and strength after the sun-setting of the garment industry. In spite of this situation, it remains visible that there is a sustained level of road usage. Nevertheless, the growth, improvements and prioritization of transportation, roadways and highways for both tourists and residents within the islands are essential and continue to be in demand. All the existing highways in the CNMI add up to 391.85 miles long, and 136.24 miles have been designated as primary federal-aid highway, while the remaining 255.61 miles are considered secondary municipal/rural roadways. Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) has led to a roadmap of changes such as street naming, road constructions, pedestrian crosswalks, and posting of reflective traffic signs to enhance highway safety programs. The overall effect of these highway safety programs has positively influenced the motoring public and industries in reducing the number of fatalities and serious injuries.
