Traffic Engineering:

The purpose of this unit is to review, warrant, and design, all traffic control devices (signs, signals, school flashers, roadway markings) in accordance with all Federal, State, and local standards. Our goal is to provide optimal traffic safety and operational treatments at a cost effective manner for the protection of the traveling public.

Hernando County Traffic Engineering -
What YOU can do to Improve Traffic Safety. . . .

Hernando County experienced 2,701 traffic crashes for 2001. There were 24 fatalities, 1,497 injuries that involved 5,057 vehicles, with an estimated $13,033,728 in property damages.

Everyone can help reduce these numbers by taking the following actions:

	Drive Carefully - Concentrate on driving. Use seat belts. Don’t speed.
	Don’t Take Chances - Play it safe! Don’t try to "beat the light, or train, or truck". Do not drink and drive.
	Think Behind the Wheel - Be aware of transportation limitations. Large trucks take longer to stop. Pedestrians may not move fast. A bicyclist may not be aware of your approach. Children may not realize the dangers of traffic.
	Turn on Vehicle Headlights - between dusk and dawn and anytime visibility is reduced by rain, smoke, fog, etc.
	Keep Vehicles in Good Mechanical Condition - by regularly checking brakes, tires, wipers, and other safety and operating equipment.
	Property Owners Should Keep Vegetation Trimmed - to insure that good intersection and driveway sight distance is provided, and that traffic control signs are visible.
	Report Roadway Hazards - as soon as possible to supervisors, city, county, or state officials responsible for road maintenance and safety. Roadway hazard examples: Traffic signs down or damaged. Traffic signal malfunctions. Traffic controls or intersections obstructed by vegetation. Obstructions, potholes, bumps or dips in roadway. Shoulder erosion. Water ponding on roadway.
	Report Acts of Vandalism - to law enforcement and maintenance officials.
