Executive Summary

The Nevada Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) report for 2022 summarizes the activities of the 

Nevada Department of Transportation’s HSIP as required by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

(IIJA)(Public Law 117-58, also known as the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law" (BIL)). The BIL continues the HSIP 

to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-Stateowned public roads and roads on tribal lands. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to 

improving highway safety on all public roads that focuses on performance regulated under Part 924 of Title 23, 

Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR Part 924). 

Available program funds for the purpose of this report are considered to be those funds obligated during the 

2022 Federal Fiscal Year. The activities of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) are primarily 

designed to develop safety improvement projects for data driven improvements identified by crash data and 

systemic solutions, which include, but not limited to: high crash locations (intersections and roadway 

segments), systemic safety improvements, pedestrian related safety improvements, and rural lane departure 

crash mitigation. 

The crash data on all public roadways contained in this report is extracted from the Nevada Citation and 

Accident Tracking System (NCATS) and Enforcement Mobile crash databases and prepared for NDOT Traffic 

Safety Engineering’s analysis as a normalized view. After the crash data is downloaded from the NCATS and 

Enforcement Mobile databases, it is processed through geolocation software and is linearly referenced to the 

statewide street centerline data. The geolocation software tools automate the cleanup of location attributes and 

assign a spatial location to the crash data through a series of database procedures. 

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering launched a project to support all local agencies using NDOT Local Public 

Agency (LPA) process that helps locals access HSIP funds for data driven projects. Local agencies can 

support this process by working with NDOT and the FHWA to develop a Local Road Safety Plan tailored to the 

needs in each community. 

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering has partnered with The Timmons Group to improve the data transfer process 

and Crash Locating System. The crash data will be received directly from the vendor and stored in a new crash 

database. This new crash database will have an improved schema that will include new data fields and 

optimize the workflow within the section. The Timmons Group is also building a replacement to the outdated 

and troublesome Locator App currently used to locate crashes spatially. This new Database and Locator App 

will greatly reduce the time it takes to have spatial data located. This will increase the most recently available 

crash data to be used in analysis. 

The HSIP program is administered by the NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering division. The methods used by the 

Traffic Safety Engineering section to identify, select, implement, and evaluate safety improvement projects 

have been compiled in the NDOT’s HSIP Manual. A copy of the current updated NDOT HSIP Manual and 

other information can be found on the NDOT website at https://www.dot.nv.gov.

Introduction

The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid program with the purpose of achieving 

a significant reduction in fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. As per 23 U.S.C. 148(h) and 23 CFR 

924.15, States are required to report annually on the progress being made to advance HSIP implementation 

and evaluation efforts. The format of this report is consistent with the HSIP Reporting Guidance dated 

December 29, 2016 and consists of five sections: program structure, progress in implementing highway safety 

improvement projects, progress in achieving safety outcomes and performance targets, effectiveness of the 

improvements and compliance assessment. 

Program Structure

Program Administration 

Describe the general structure of the HSIP in the State. 

The HSIP program is managed by the NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering Team. The team is located in the 

Planning Division of NDOT. 

Where is HSIP staff located within the State DOT? 

 Planning

How are HSIP funds allocated in a State? 

• SHSP Emphasis Area Data 

Describe how local and tribal roads are addressed as part of HSIP. 

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering coordinated with Nye County and FHWA to complete Nevada's first Local 

Road Safety Plan (LRSP). The plan determined Emphasis Areas and identified potential Safety Projects for the 

county. NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering has three consultant teams to help all interested locals develop a 

LRSP to support Local Road Safety. The City of North Las Vegas is working with NDOT to develop a LRSP. 

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering is working with other local and tribal agencies to develop LRSP for their 

communities.

Describe coordination with internal partners.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering coordinates with the NDOT Planning on a regular basis. Traffic Safety 

Engineering provides safety improvement guidance and review to the Planning team as projects develop. 

Traffic Safety Engineering recommends safety improvements for projects in the early stage of development 

and has supported the One Nevada Transportation Plan for prioritizing projects statewide. The One Nevada 

Transportation Plan can be found at https://www.dot.nv.gov/projects-programs/road-projects/onenvplan .

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering is frequently interacting with the NDOT Engineering Division. The Roadway 

Design and Project Management team are developing plans and specifications to make recommendations 

from recent Safety Management Plans (SMPs), RSAs, and local planning documents a reality. Engineering 

teams participate at all levels, ranging from preliminary field design surveys, pre-design, intermediate design, 

final design, and construction support.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering coordinates with Roadway Design to share the latest safety strategies and 

provide guidance for safety improvement ideas. This includes the utilization of Strategic Highway Safety Plan 

(SHSP) strategies, Highway Safety Manual (HSM) tools, and other federal guidelines. Traffic Safety 

Engineering coordinates with the Roadway Design Scoping Section to initiate and recommend safety 

improvements on projects during the Scoping Phase.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering works with the NDOT District offices to understand locations of concerns. 

Once the concerns are identified, Traffic Safety Engineering can support the district construction and 

maintenance teams as they build and maintain safe NDOT infrastructure. NDOT District Operations and 

Maintenance teams participate in RSAs, SMPs, and miscellaneous field inspections.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering collaborates with NDOT Traffic Operations when developing and 

implementing safety projects. Collaboration includes signal design, lighting design, operational analysis of 

roadway segments and intersections, and the development and discussion of safety strategies, methodologies 

and guidelines. Traffic Safety Engineering and Traffic Operations have partnered on the Traffic Incident 

Management (TIM) program and several interim approval projects with the FHWA. The TIM program has a 

primary goal of reducing fatalities and serious injuries from secondary crashes. Current interim approval 

projects include Wrong Way Driver systems with red flashing lights and Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon 

(RRFB) pedestrian crossing enhancements. 

Identify which external partners are involved with HSIP planning.

• Academia/University

• FHWA

• Governors Highway Safety Office

• Law Enforcement Agency

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering partners with the Nevada Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety 

(DPS-OTS) on the development of the SHSP, the Critical Emphasis Areas (CEAs) identified in the SHSP, the 

CEA Task Force Committees, and the Zero Fatalities Initiative. DPS-OTS is NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering’s 

primary behavioral partner. DPS-OTS serves as Nevada’s Governors Highway Safety Office. The NDOT 
2022 Nevada Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 7 of 43

Traffic Safety Engineering and DPS-OTS work together as defined in the SHSP. The teams share crash data 

and work together to ensure that safety messages reach road users in the State of Nevada. DPS-OTS and 

NDOT Traffic Safety share goals that are used to develop SHSP and HSIP Performance Measures.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering coordinates with the University of Nevada Reno (UNR) and the University of 

Las Vegas (UNLV) for research projects. Current projects include Traffic Data Collection and an Urban Street 

Lighting study. The UNLV School of Medicine maintains two (2) crash trauma databases.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering team partners with the FHWA. Team members share knowledge with the 

FHWA by attending webinars, peer-to-peers, and workshops. Traffic Safety Engineering and Traffic Operations 

leadership meets with the FHWA on a regular basis to discuss the HSIP, interim approval programs, and 

upcoming plans. The NDOT HSIP team works with the FHWA representative to ensure that any updates in 

HSIP procedures or best practices are shared and documented.

Representatives from Local Government Agencies partner with the HSIP team by attending the annual Safety 

Summit hosted by NDOT, contribute and partner with SMP’s and participate as team members in the SHSP 

Task Forces.

NDOT Traffic Safety works with and seeks input from a variety of regional planning organizations, including, 

but not limited to the Southern Nevada Regional Transportation Commission (RTC), RTC of Washoe County, 

Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), and Tahoe Regional Planning Authority (TRPA). 

These organizations are encouraged to attend the Safety Summit, contribute to SMPs, RSAs, and serve as 

members of SHSP Task Forces.

Representatives from Law Enforcement Agencies and Emergency Medical Services support and participate in 

the Nevada Safety Summit, contribute to SMPs, RSAs, and serve as members of the SHSP Task Forces and 

TIM Collation.

Tribal Agency projects are generated by the RSA process or through tribal planning priorities. Projects are 

developed and executed with tribal input.

Describe other aspects of HSIP Administration on which the State would like to 

elaborate. 

Nevada published the 2021-2025 SHSP in early 2021. The SHSP defines the ongoing commitments of the 

Nevada Safety Team. The SHSP establishes statewide goals and strategies focusing on the 6 "Es" of traffic 

safety: Equity, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services/Emergency 

Response/Incident Management, and Everyone.

The 81st session of the Nevada Legislature created the Nevada Advisory Committee on Traffic Safety 

(NVACTS) with the approval of Assembly Bill No. 54 (AB54). NVACTS is the executive committee the 

oversees the Nevada SHSP and the Traffic Records Coordination Committee (TRCC). This bill builds on the 

group formally known as the Nevada Executive Committee on Traffic Safety (NECTS). NVACTS submitted 

their first report to the Nevada Legislature in June 2022.

The SHSP team coordinated the 2021 Nevada Traffic Safety Summit. The summit was a two-and-a-half-day 

event held in person at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 19th, 20th, and 

21st. The 2021 Summit started with workshops: Nevada Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Responder 

Training, Child Passenger Safety 101, Joining Forces Emotional Survival, and Crash Reconstruction: Hands 

on Demonstration-Mass Casualty Incident. The 2nd day kicked off with a Welcome Session followed by nine 

breakout sessions, which included: The Future is Now: What’s New with Emerging Technologies, Impaired 

Driving: Navigating the Changing Landscape, Fast and Furious: Let’s Talk About Speed, Traffic Safety 
2022 Nevada Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 8 of 43

Communication: Listen, Learn, Action, Vulnerable Road Users: Walking and Biking to Zero Fatalities, Judicial 

Outreach and Communications, Safer Drivers and Passengers: Are We There Yet?, Equity: Improving Safety 

for Everyone, and Engineering Safer Roads. The 3rd day addressed Key Takeaways from the 2021 Nevada 

Legislative Session and a Legislative Panel Discussion.

The SHSP team is currently planning the 2022 Nevada Traffic Safety Summit. The Summit will be held 

October 19th and October 20th at the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada. The 2022 Summit is 

scheduled to be a two day, in person event. 

Nevada is revitalizing it RSA program. The Covid-19 Pandemic forced changes and the department 

responded. NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering has hosted and completed its first virtual RSA. This virtual 

process included a field review and data collection by the NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering including field 

observations, videos of both daytime and nighttime driving views of the RSA corridor, and pictures of the major 

intersections. This data, coupled with crash data analysis and maps exhibiting crash severity, crash types, and 

driver factors for the RSA’s have been created and shared with the multidisciplinary and multi-agency RSA 

Stakeholder Team to review prior to the virtual RSA meeting. The RSA Stakeholder Team consisted of 

professionals from the City of Sparks Public Works, NDOT, Nevada Highway Patrol, Regional Transportation 

Commission (RTC), REMSA, Truckee Meadows Fire, Washoe County, Washoe County School DistrictTransportation, and Washoe County School Police. Two virtual meetings were held to allow the stakeholders 

time to review and to submit comments. The RSA Stakeholders were encouraged to drive and observe the 

corridor, either virtually or in person. All comments were collected in a comment matrix and reviewed and 

approved by the RSA Stakeholder Team as the NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering team developed the RSA 

report documents and final report. This process aligns with Technical Report No. FHWA-SA-21-025 “Preparing 

for a Virtual Road Safety Audit (RSA)” published in December 2020.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering is updating the RSA database so that the RSA recommendations can be 

found in one central file. The database will be used as a design and planning resource for internal and external 

projects. The RSA database will include all current and historic RSA information and is expected to be fully 

populated by winter of 2022-2023.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering works with other NDOT teams to perform engineering studies in support of 

the SHSP. Current studies include “A Data-Driven Approach to Implementing Wrong-way Driving 

Countermeasures” where NDOT has installed red Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon's (RRFB’s) on several 

off-ramps. This study is conducted under an interim agreement with the FHWA (4(09)-56 (E) - Red 

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons on Exit Ramps – Nevada DOT). As of June 30, 2022, there has been a 

78% confirmed turnaround due to installation of these devices. As part of this interim agreement, NDOT 

manages a multidisciplinary team led by NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering and NDOT Traffic Operations to 

study the effectiveness of these systems, and to submit semi-annual progress reports and a final evaluation 

report at the end of the experiment. The study will evaluate wrong-way driver systems that are MUTCD 

compliant and compare the data collected. The study has been completed and is currently in the evaluation 

stage. 

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering has been working with a consultant team to develop a data driven approach 

to identify and prioritize locations for passing and climbing lanes throughout Nevada. The prioritization is in 

progress with an expected completion date in the Winter of 2022. Once this is developed, Traffic Safety 

Engineering will work with the NDOT team to design, bid, and build these projects.

Safety Management Plans are safety focused corridor studies intended to reduce the number of crashes on 

Nevada roadways. The NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering team identifies corridors on arterial roads statewide 

to implement safety improvements. Two SMP locations have been selected in this reporting period. Locations 

were identified through the NDOT network screening process. The first is in Reno, Nevada on South Virginia 

Street from SR-431/SR-341 (Geiger Grade/Mt Rose Highway) to East Patriot Boulevard. The second is in Las 

Vegas, Nevada on SR-592 (East Flamingo Road) from South Paradise Road to South Pecos Road. Both

SMPs are on state-systems and are safe systems focused. SMP typically take one year to complete. The 

SMPs in this reporting period are expected to be completed in late 2023/early 2024. The design phase is 

expected to start in 2024.

SMP’s evaluate the needs of all modes of transportation and make recommendations for future projects. The 

purpose of a SMP is to conduct a safety focused corridor study aimed at all road users and to include 

collaboration with stakeholders and the public. A SMP includes the development of short and long-range 

transportation safety improvement projects that incorporate relevant studies, access management principles, 

public and stakeholder input, crash and capacity analyses, benefit/cost analysis, and other impacts to all road 

users. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is created to help with the development of the SMP and to 

ensure that the plan was consistent with the needs of the many different stakeholders along the project 

corridor. The SMP process is consistent with the Nevada SHSP goal of reducing the number of fatalities and 

serious injuries on Nevada’s roadways. The SMP process additionally uses the Safe System Principles to 

produce a safety focused corridor study.

The Speed Management Action Plan (SMAP) published June 2022 characterizes Nevada’s speeding-related 

safety problems and speed management issues; identifies appropriate engineering, enforcement, and 

educational countermeasures and strategies; and outlines actions that the Nevada Department of 

Transportation (NDOT) and partner agencies can take to implement these strategies to reduce speeding and 

speed-related fatal and serious injury crashes. This SMAP will facilitate coordination and cooperation among 

various agency stakeholders including planners, designers and managers, enforcement officials, public health 

practitioners, and policymakers to implement a sustainable speed management program, and to target the 

most cost-effective and feasible countermeasures where they will have the greatest safety benefits.

The safety goals of the SMAP are as follows:

• Reduce fatal and serious injury crashes in support of the Nevada Strategic Highway Safety Plan 

(SHSP)

• Incorporate the statewide speed management strategies and action items into the SHSP and track 

progress in the SHSP Action Tracking Tool

• Provide network screening guidance for agencies to determine areas of concern

• Improve compliance with speed limits and set target speed limits using the Countermeasures to 

Achieve Target Speed 

Speed limit review, engineering, and design strategies, enforcement, and educational measures will be 

implemented through this SMAP. As mentioned, there are three basic approaches to implementation of 

strategies and countermeasures: proactive, comprehensive, and systematic:

• A proactive approach aims to foster creation of self-enforcing roadway designs appropriate to the land 

use and user needs (functions of the road) to reduce future speeding and injury risk. The approach 

aims to develop collaborative and consistent policies, procedures, and safety guidance in speed-limit 

setting and design for new projects and roadway improvements.

• The overarching objectives of the comprehensive approach are to seek community support for the 

program, coordinate various stakeholders and engage the community in setting and enforcing 

appropriate limits, and to complement and enhance the effectiveness of design and engineering 

measures with locally tailored communications and educational measures.

• A systematic approach is used to identify and coordinate treatment of existing speeding and speedrelated safety problems with cost-effective countermeasures (engineering and enforcement-related 

measures), and to integrate this approach with other safety plans and safety focus areas.

Does the State HSIP consider connected vehicles and ITS technologies? 

Yes

Describe how the State HSIP considers connected vehicles and ITS technologies. 

NDOT is continuously evaluating connected vehicle technologies and has participated in pilot projects focusing 

on V2I for winter operations and safety. We are currently transitioning from a DSRC/Cellular hybrid test 

corridor to a broader cellular based installation on applicable maintenance vehicles that is compatible with our 

upcoming AVL platform. Due to the absence of USDOT/OEM standards for connected vehicles, most of our 

current efforts for the public domain are focused on expanding our underlying enterprise grade 

communications backbone along Nevada’s roadways. As part of our Smart Mobility Plan, this will provide a 

robust and redundant system capable is supporting a wide variety of connected technologies as they become 

available and are proven safe and effective. NDOT is also in the process of completing a statewide ITS and 

ATM Master Plan. Needs and solutions are being evaluated based on safety improvements and operational

deficiencies. This process will evaluate new technology solutions as well as expanding current solutions such 

as Wrong Way Drivers (WWD) systems, Variable Speed Limit (VSL) corridors, wind and weather warning 

systems, and Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) devices.

Does the State use the Highway Safety Manual to support HSIP efforts?

Yes

Please describe how the State uses the HSM to support HSIP efforts.

The Highway Safety Manual’s process for Network Screening and Project Prioritization is used to help 

determine the priority of HSIP projects as well as the predictive methodologies. Project safety effectiveness is 

calculated by Highway Safety Manual processes.

Describe other aspects of the HSIP methodology on which the State would like to 

elaborate.

Nevada did not trigger the HRRR Special Rule for the reporting period but continues its efforts on rural road 

safety. Nevada is working on a Passing and Climbing Lane study and continues its efforts to incorporate 

systemic proven countermeasures such as rumble strips, curve improvements, shoulder widening, slope 

flattening, and passing lanes into our HSIP program. 

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering and Traffic Operations is continuing to expand the TIM program throughout 

the state. The primary goal of the of the TIM program is to reduce fatalities and serious injuries from secondary 

crashes by providing coordination and education to all partners, including enforcement, and emergency 

services.

RHCP (for HSIP purposes)(23 W.S.C. 130(e)(2)) has obligations totaling ($381,561.40) due to final vouchers 

from previously obligated projects. This program will not allow me to input a negative value. 

Penalty Funds (23 U.S.C. 146) had a negative value of (1,577,361) which was obligated towards multiple 

projects. Therefore the obligations net $0. 

No RHCP funds were obligated in FFY22. Preliminary engineering for a substantial rail safety project obligated 

before FFY22 and two construction engineering projects is expected to bid and obligate in FFY23 and FFY24. 

DOT #834-498D Silver Lake Road Crossing, Reno, Washoe County, Nevada which is at 60% design stage. 

Construction is scheduled to obligate in FFY23 with an approximate cost of $2,500,000.00. DOT #833-586K 

Highland Avenue, Reno, Washoe County, Nevada is at 30% design stage. Construction is scheduled to 

obligate in FFY24 with an approximate cost of $1,500,000.00.

Discuss impediments to obligating HSIP funds and plans to overcome this challenge in 

the future.

The NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering team is still working though changes inspired by the Covid-19 Pandemic 

and staff turnover. NDOT has spent 2022 establishing the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) through the Local 

Public Agency (LPA) process. The project is in its beginning stages, and it is too premature to report on the 

project development. NDOT is excited to implement the project in FFY 2023 and will report on its development 

in the 2023 HSIP report.

Describe any other aspects of the State’s progress in implementing HSIP projects on 

which the State would like to elaborate. 

Nevada has developed a process for funding Local Road Safety Plans (LRSP) for local and tribal agencies. 

With this LRSP, agencies will be able to apply for additional federal funding. A pilot project is being done with 

the City of North Las Vegas. Nevada is providing this opportunity to all local and tribal agencies and are using 

approved methods as defined in the HSIP manual to identify and pursue the state HSIP projects.

Nevada met the targets for Number of Fatalities, Number of Serious Injuries, Fatality Rate, and Non-Motorized 

Fatalities and Serious Injuries. Nevada did not meet the performance target for Serious Injury Rate. Serious 

injuries have been increasing in Nevada and across the nation. Nevada is now seeing the upward trend in 

these crashes in the 5-year average. NDOT is looking into every avenue to reduce serious injuries on the road 

network to decrease the serious injury rate.

Evaluation

Program Effectiveness 

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP? 

• Change in fatalities and serious injuries 

Based on the measures of effectiveness selected previously, describe the results of 

the State's program level evaluations. 

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering focuses on developing projects that will reduce the numbers of fatalities and 

serious injuries. This involves using HSIP funds as outlined in the strategies and action items under the current 

emphasis areas outlined in the Nevada SHSP. Due to the increased rate of serious injuries on the road 

network, NDOT is looking into every resource available to decrease the upward trend. 

What other indicators of success does the State use to demonstrate effectiveness and 

success of the Highway Safety Improvement Program? 

• # miles improved by HSIP 

• # RSAs completed 

• HSIP Obligations 

• Increased awareness of safety and data-driven process 

• Increased focus on local road safety 

• More systemic programs 

• Policy change 

Describe significant program changes that have occurred since the last reporting 

period.

NDOT Traffic Safety Engineering has developed a new system for project delivery on local roadways. The 

FHWA approved this process on July 18, 2022. NDOT is looking forward to establishing this program and will 

start seeing progress in FFY 2023.

NDOT is waiting on results from the Roadway Safety Data Program (RDIP) assessment to outline a plan for execution to complete the collection of the MIRE 2.0 Fundamental Data Elements (FDEs). RDIP results are expected Fall 2022. 

Describe actions the State will take moving forward to meet the requirement to have complete access to the MIRE fundamental data elements on all public roads by September 30, 2026. 

Nevada continues to identify proactive actions to meet the MIRE Fundamental Data Elements (FDEs) deadline of September 30, 2026. Completed actions (to date) include: mapping subsequent overlap between HPMS and MIRE data 

elements, as well as, participation in Federal Highway Administration FDEs mapping report, the investigation of database management system to create a MIRE repository, and the collection and identification of safety gaps not addressed 

by MIRE, State, or Federal guidance. Data extraction from the Road Video Lidar system is underway, and once completed, data will be utilized in safety tools and/or other tools. Lastly, evaluation shall include Highway Safety 

Improvement Program quality control, ensuring the accuracy of safety data. Nevada held a Roadway Data Improvement Program (RDIP) workshop on May 3, 2022 and May 4, 2022. Nevada is waiting on the assessment to proceed with 

a strategic plan to collect the MIRE data elements.
