Traffic management and safety decisions are data-driven and guided by several plans, partnerships and strategic approaches.

Safe Systems Approach
Through the application of the Safe System Approach, we are working towards the day when no one is seriously injured or killed while travelling on Strathcona County's road network.
Intersection Safety Action Plan
Strathcona County regularly screens the road network to check for locations with a high incidence of serious collisions. When a location is identified, a full assessment is conducted to find out how to improve the safety of that spot. All actions are based on the Intersection Safety Action Plan (1.8Â MB) , developed in 2017.
Traffic intersection safety priorities
- Reduce right angle (t-bone) collisions
