Combined High-Visibility Enforcement: Determining the Effectiveness
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines high-visibility enforcement (HVE) as a universal
traffic safety approach designed to create deterrence and change unlawful traffic behaviors. HVE
combines highly visible and proactive law enforcement targeting a specific traffic safety issue.
Law enforcement efforts are combined with visibility elements and a publicity strategy to
educate the public and promote voluntary compliance with the law.
