Countermeasure Selection
In selecting countermeasures, both the target audience and the target area must be clearly identified (see the following examples).
Target Audiences: | Target Areas: |
---|---|
Impaired drivers | northeast quadrant of city |
Speeding motorists | a specific segment of the roadway during nighttime, on weekends, or during daylight hours |
Unbuckled vehicle occupants. | jurisdiction-wide. |
Countermeasures should be such that a “reasonable person” would believe they would produce effective results and should relate directly to the problem identification and community assessment addressed in the problem statement.
