RCW 36.78.070(1) authorizes the county road administration board to establish standards of good practice for the administration of county roads and the efficient movement of people and goods over county roads. In order to maintain accurate information on the types and locations of collisions on county roads and implement the requirement of the National Highway Safety Act of 1966 that requires all states, in cooperation with their various local governments, to collect, compile and make reports to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in each state, the county road administration board has acted to coordinate the activities of the county engineers and the Washington state department of transportation. Each county engineer is to cooperate in this effort by following the procedure outlined below.
