KDOT tool shows places pedestrians and cyclists may be on the road

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is releasing a new tool to inform local public agencies of corridors where pedestrians and cyclists may be.

Called the Kansas Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment Tool, it has a map that uses data to act as a visual tool for drivers.

“Data gathered from the tool can assist agencies to understand safety concerns for these local travelers,” a press release from KDOT reads. “The tool helps support safety-conscious decision making, including investments in infrastructure, education, enforcement or emergency services.”
