DPWH Road Safety Action PlanCY2017 – CY2022

• Identify & validate hazardous locations (blackspots)

• Investigate hazardous locations and recommend countermeasures

• Monitor compliance of IOs to ARP

• Identify the crash potential of an existing road or future road project

• Recommend road safety treatments to upgrade safety performance

• Monitor compliance of IOs to APP

• Develop effective monitoring of road safety projects thru the use of GIS application

• Develop guidelines in the use of new road safety tools and equipment

• Maximize use of available road safety tools and equipment

• Actively attend & participate in various road safety meetings/forums/conventions and collaborate with other agencies and NGOs
