The Impact of Safety

CBB is committed to the importance of safety in the transportation network and understands the impacts it has on communities and its members of all ages and abilities. We put safety at the forefront in every aspect of transportation design. It is the foundation for our work from designing a full highway reconstruction project to determining the location of a new crosswalk. We understand that every detail can make the proposed improvement more intuitive to the user and ultimately safer for everyone. We strive to optimize the design for safety at the core of the design, but also have a toolbox of safety countermeasures that we pull from to help mitigate underlying safety issues. There are countless metrics with which to evaluate a road system: travel time, capacity, safety, etc. However, the most important goal is for road users to get to their destinations safely.

Thorough Safety Recommendations and Evaluations

While numbers and monetary values are assigned to crashes to better facilitate crash evaluation, our team understands that every crash represents a real-life impact to one or more people. With this in mind, we strive to provide thorough safety recommendations and evaluations. We are well versed in all levels of safety analysis and design, from a localized crash analysis at an intersection to expansive network screenings of an entire Metropolitan Planning Organization that includes multiple counties. We have extensive experience in safety evaluations and use an innovative, data driven approach to safety analysis.  Our staff is experienced and trained in the HSM Methodologies.  We have been working in all the safety analysis software for years including HSM spreadsheets, ISATe, IHSDM and ArcGIS.  Finally, we have certified Road Safety Professionals (RSP2I and RSP2IB) so that you can have confidence that all safety results are reliable and accurate.

We have extensive experience with the following safety tasks:

  • Ball Bank Testing, Curve Inventories, Curve Analysis
  • Before and After Safety Studies
  • Crash Data Summary and Analysis
  • Countermeasure Design
  • Countermeasure Selection
  • Innovative Technology Solutions for Safety
  • Multimodal Safety Evaluations and Design
  • Network Screening of Crashes
  • Predictive Analysis, HSM Studies, ISATe, IHSDM
  • Preparation of Applications for Safety Funds
  • Roadway, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Safety Audits
  • Safety Evaluations for Design Exception
  • Sight Distance Measurements
  • Sign Retro-reflectivity Analysis
  • Systematic Safety Study and Improvements
  • Traffic Calming
  • Turn Lane Evaluation
  • Vehicular Speed Studies

Effective government needs to have experienced planners. As the former 16th Ward Alderman for the City of St. Louis, and now the Missouri State Representative for District 82, I have seen the excellent work of the skilled planners and engineers on the streets of St. Louis. I am proud to share their work and my experience with them as I let other elected officials know that using an experienced planning group to help solve problems and implement plans is essential to successful communities. CBB continues to do this work for the area I represent very well.
