Highway Safety Initiatives: Preparing for Holiday Travel

The end of 2008 will soon be here. November will bring the Thanksgiving holiday period and herald the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. After Christmas, there will be only days until the celebration of the New Year.

Each of these holidays brings an opportunity to save lives and prevent injuries by anticipating traffic safety issues and designing solutions, simple steps that can be taken now in preparation. September is not too soon for agencies to begin planning their enforcement efforts.
