Held June 12 through 14, 1990, state, local and private treffic safety experts met to identify countermeasures that could be accomplished within two years. More than 50 recommendations were developed in 5 categories: corridor idenification and improvement; pedestrian safety; commercial motor vehicle safety; reducing accident severity; and improving driver performance. A Federal Highway Administration source indicates that the agency will focus on corridor improvement and pedestrian safety. Background papers on corridor improvement, and pedestrian safety are discussed, as well as drunk driving and court rulings.
