Traffic Safety

Beltrami County supports the state’s Towards Zero Deaths (TZD) program and endeavors to reduce crashes on county roads that result in traffic fatalities and serious injuries. A County Road Safety Plan has been developed to support that effort. The plan utilizes a data-driven approach, documents at-risk locations, identifies effective and proven safety improvement strategies, and recommends safety projects. A key aspect of the plan is the systemic risk analysis which allows a change from reacting to severe crashes to a proactive approach of implementing safety projects at high priority at-risk locations.
