Specific requirements include baseline safety assessments, planned enhancements such as improved lighting and surveillance systems, and the incorporation of emergency communication options like call boxes. Engaging with local law enforcement agencies during the planning stages is vital, as it contributes to creating a comprehensive approach to safety that considers regional crime statistics and traveler concerns.
