Overview
The City of Norfolk is dedicated to ensuring safe and accessible roadways for all users, recognizing that reaching your destination safely is a fundamental right. To achieve this goal, the City is committed to developing a comprehensive safety action plan, funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program.
This initiative will achieve zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries by working with the community to:
