For example, \u003cbr\u003ebecause improving highway safety is a top priority \u003cbr\u003efor transportation agencies in the United States, the \u003cbr\u003escan team members were particularly interested in \u003cbr\u003elearning more about how a common set of highway \u003cbr\u003esafety measures and targets evolved, were established, \u003cbr\u003eand are reported in Australia and New Zealand. The \u003cbr\u003eAustralian states and New Zealand have more than \u003cbr\u003e10 years of experience in producing common highway \u003cbr\u003eperformance measures, including safety measures. \u003cbr\u003eTheir experience holds important lessons for U.S. \u003cbr\u003ehighway safety practitioners.\u003cbr\u003eThis followup report was developed by those agencies \u003cbr\u003ein cooperation with Austroads, which is the association \u003cbr\u003eof highway agencies in Australia and New Zealand. \u003cbr\u003eIt was written by Eric Howard and Associates in \u003cbr\u003eMelbourne, Australia, in cooperation with Austroads.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156272005360,"sku":"2940148992486","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148992486_p0.jpg?v=1763710903","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148992486","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
