The Upper Pine River Fire Protection District has received a grant from the Highway Traffic Safety administration to create a safety plan for US Highway 160 from the Continental Divide at Wolf Creek west to the Four Corners marker at the border of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
The Safety plan is required to address the five (5) pillars of the Road Safety Strategy:
1) Road Safety Management,
2) Safer Vehicles,
3) Safer Road Users,
4) Post-Crash Response, and
5) Safer Driving Environments.
These five (5) pillars have proven to achieve a comprehensive view of road safety in the United States while providing a conceptual framework to our road safety work.

Hwy 160 Safe Streets Project Ideas
• Separated bicycle lanes and improved safety features for pedestrian crossings.
• Rumble strips, wider edge lines, flashing beacons, and better signage along high-crash rural corridors.
• Conducting speed management projects.
• Safer pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, and additional lighting for people walking, rolling, or using mobility assistive devices.
• Addressing alcohol-impaired driving along key corridors through education, outreach, and publicized sobriety checkpoints on weekends and holidays.
• Creating safe routes to school and public transit services through multiple activities that lead to people safely walking, biking, and rolling in underserved communities
