SUMMARY: The city of Hattisburg is seeking input from residents on how to improve highway safety through a series of meetings and surveys.

The Safe Roads Hattisburg initiative, funded by a grant from the Department of Transportation, aims to address road safety issues such as infrastructure, distracted driving, and speeding. Residents are encouraged to rank problem areas such as running red lights, lack of lighting, and unsafe intersections. The city will use this feedback to create an action plan to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities on the road.
