The following values are nested under the SHSP Emphasis Area filter. This filter is available in all applications to help identify crashes related to one of the NMDOT Strategic Highway Safety Plan emphasis areas.

Each value is available under the SHSP Emphasis Area filter, and the defining logic is detailed below.
