Richmond Traffic Safety Study
In an effort to increase the overall safety for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users throughout Richmond, the City is soliciting feedback concerning locations perceived to be unsafe to the public. You are invited to participate in a brief 10 question online survey to help the City determine locations where safety issues may be present and should be assessed as part of an initial response to improving the safety or roadways, pathways, and sidewalks throughout Richmond. The survey will be used to prioritize locations for a more detailed review of potential safety issues relating to design, maintenance, and other factors.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. We appreciate your response and thank you in advance for contribution to the understanding and locations of safety concerns in the City of Richmond.

Please follow the Internet link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RichmondPublic-TrafficSafety for the online survey.
