STRATEGY 6 – Change Physical Design

Changing the physical design or structure of problem environments to reduce risk and change local conditions (e.g., signage, lighting, outlet density, installation of new technology in automobiles).

EXAMPLES:

  • High-visibility sobriety checkpoints
  • Use local zoning authority to limit density of licensed alcohol establishments

Coalitions can also consider activities such as:

  • Providing signage (placards, coasters, etc.) reminding servers and patrons about laws and house policies prohibiting sales to intoxicated patrons
