The recommended strategies for the Sandy Springs Safety Action Plan align with the six "E's" of roadway safety:
- Education – Educating the community about safe and courteous driving, including media campaigns, brochures, billboards, and poster distributions
- Enforcement – Strategies the monitor and penalize dangerous behaviors such as speeding, double parking, and disobeying traffic signals
- Encouragement – Strategies that encourage safe and defensive driving, and greater awareness of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users
- Evaluation – As strategies as implemented, evaluate how well they are working and if any changes are needed
- Emergency Response – Coordination of emergency services to enhance quick response
- Engineering – Infrastructure projects that improve safety, such as pavement striping, raised pavement markers, delineators, rumble strips, and signage

Between 2018 and 2022, there were over 27,500 crashes on Sandy Springs roadways, including I-285, SR 400, Roswell Road, and streets owned by the City. Among these crashes, 38 crashes resulted in at least one fatality, and over 200 crashes involved at least one serious injury.
The Sandy Springs Safety Action Plan will identify strategies to help reduce fatal and serious injury crashes on its roadways. This plan will analyze comprehensive crash data to identify high crash locations and a high injury network, establish a safety framework and goals, and develop an implementation program of actions and projects to make progress toward meeting safety targets.
