NDOT’s mission is to continually improve the safety of Nevada's Highways and Freeways for the users of these systems. Traffic Safety Engineering goals are to implement safety features and enhancements that will produce a decrease in the frequency, rate, and severity of, and potential for, crashes involving motor vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles and wildlife on state maintained roadways in Nevada.

Implementation of comprehensive safety programs involves research, planning studies, engineering, installation of safety devices, public outreach and education, and collaboration with partners to achieve our stated goals.
