Observations

The crash data supports the previous
selection of Critical Emphasis Areas
 Impaired
Driving
 Safety Belt Usage
 Young Drivers
 Aggressive Drivers
 Lane Departures
 Intersections
 Driver Safety Awareness
 Data Information Systems
31
Observations

In ATP 7
 Distribution
of fatalities among the CEAs is generally
similar to statewide averages with the following
exceptions



Intersection-related (+ 4% points)
Alcohol-related (- 8% points)
Speeding-related (- 7% points)
 For
each Emphasis Area, the number of fatalities and
severe injuries on the local system exceeds the
number on the state system, with one exceptionhead-on and sideswipe.
 55% of fatalities occur on the STH system and 45%
on the local system.
32
Observations
Approximately 60% of the factors
contributing to fatal crashes are related to
driver behavior.
 ATP 7 has the lowest number of fatal
crashes (16) and next to lowest
percentage of fatal crashes (15%) where
total EMS response time exceeded 1 hour.
 The facts suggest the need for a balanced
approach to safety – investing in the Other
E’s (especially on the local system).

33
Observations

Fatal crashes on the State’s system are
far overrepresented on rural facilities
(87%).

Severe crashes on the State’s rural
system are overrepresented on 2-lane
rural roads in ATP 7 (73%). However, there
is no obvious priority based on volume
categories.
34
Observations

The analysis of the factors contributing to severe
crashes in ATP 7 suggest the following high-priority
infrastructure based improvements:




Rural Expressways: Street lights, Indirect turn treatments in
median cross-overs, Edgeline rumblestrips
Rural 2-Lane State Highways: Street lights, Centerline
rumblestrips, Edgeline rumblestrips, Shoulder edge treatments
Rural Local Highways: Street lights, Enhanced pavement
markings, Edgeline rumblestrips, Shoulder edge treatments
These types of strategies would be most effectively
deployed using a proactive (as opposed to reactive)
approach.
35
Notes on the Ranking System




More s suggest better opportunities to reduce
number of fatalities and serious injuries.
s can help distinguish between similar projects
that have similar forecast crash reduction
factors.
A  does NOT guarantee selection of a specific
project for safety funding.
Lack of a  does NOT suggest that a county or
facility type would be ineligible for safety funding.
36
Next Steps
Receive comments and revise the process
as necessary.
 Apply the revised process to the other
ATP’s.
 Prepare a short list of the highest priority
strategies for each ATP.

