General Project Information

	What is HSIP? The Texas Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a federally mandated program managed by TxDOT. HSIP, directed by Texas’ Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), works to achieve the main objective of significantly reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads by providing a standardized approach for identifying and reviewing specific traffic safety concerns throughout the state. Texas’ SHSP identifies the emphasis areas and strategies that the HSIP will focus on to meet the state’s objectives of reducing fatal and serious injury crashes in Texas.
	What is the purpose of this project? The purpose of this project is to improve road safety for all road users as well as improve traffic flow. Roundabouts are considered by FHWA to be a Proven Safety Countermeasure that encourage safe vehicles speeds, movements, and interactions with pedestrians and bicyclists. When built with modern features, they have been shown to reduce all crashes by 30%, injury crashes by 60%, and fatal crashes by 90%.
	How long is this project going to take to complete? 6 months. Work is scheduled to begin in Summer 2023 and anticipated to be completed in Winter 2024. The project schedule depends upon weather conditions.
