System-Level Safety Management focuses on which scope?

• A. High-priority local hotspots
• B. Individual driver behavior
• C. Broad transportation system and network crash data
• D. Economic costs

Answer: (C)

System-level safety management examines the transportation system as an integrated whole, using data from across the network to understand how crashes occur and how infrastructure, operations, policies, and external factors interact. This broad, data-driven view highlights systemic risk patterns that appear across many places, guiding interventions that improve safety across the entire system rather than at a single site or for individual drivers. Local hotspots focus on specific locations, and individual driver behavior looks at micro-level factors, while economic costs are important for decision-making but don’t define the scope of system-wide safety analysis.
