The goal is to arrive to the destination without serious injury or death. Speeding is an adversary to reaching that goal.

The preceding days built the foundation to foster a culture of roadway safety in rural areas. Ultimately, if the culture changes, behaviors change long-term.

Our fifth and final topic is an introduction to building a culture of safe speeds. Learn about the Safe System Approach, multi-disciplinary approaches, communication and education techniques to bring people together for safer speeds.
