Federal Highway Administration. Office of SafetyFederal Highway AdministrationA Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) provides a framework for organizing stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local and rural roads. The process of developing an LRSP can be tailored to local protocols, needs, and issues. However, safety projects stemming from the plan need to be consistent with Federal and State project funding requirements if those funds will be used for project implementation. Also, the plan should be viewed as a living document that can be continually reviewed and updated to reflect changing local needs and priorities.93
