Basic road safety manual for transportation engineers. Provides an introduction to the road safety field, and describes the safety analysis process, the relationship between components of the road and safety, and the steps required to complete technical studies (sight distances, spot speed, etc.).
Traffic crashes kill or injure millions of people each year. High-quality traffic safety data is vital to allocate resources and target programs as the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin, (NHTSA) and states work to improve traffic safety through data-driven approaches. To qualify for federal funding, states must submit plans which include fatality and crash data analyses to identify areas for improvement. This report provides information on: (1) the extent to which state traffic safety data systems meet NHTSA performance measures for assessing the quality of data systems; and (2) progress states have made in improving traffic safety data systems, and related challenges. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
To help states reduce traffic fatalities, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transport. Equity Act (SAFETEA) authorized funding for the Nat. Hwy. Traffic Safety Admin. (NHTSA) to award traffic safety grants to states and implement a high-visibilty enforce. (HVE) program that combines intensive state and local enforce. of safety belt and impaired driving laws with media commun. This statement addresses: (1) NHTSA¿s progress in administering and overseeing the traffic safety grant and HVE programs; (2) the programs¿ effectiveness in addressing traffic safety issues; and (3) issues for Congress to consider in reauthorizing funding for the programs when SAFETEA expires in 2009. Also discusses older driver safety. Illustrations
Traffic crashes kill thousands of Americans every year -- in 2005, it was the the leading cause of death among young Americans. To try to improve highway safety, Congress authorized a grant program overseen by the Nat. Hwy. Traffic Safety Admin. (NHTSA). In 2003, it was recommended that NHTSA improve the consistency of its mgmt. reviews, a key aspect of NHTSA¿s oversight. In response to a legislative mandate, this report assessed: (1) how states have used grant funding to address safety goals; (2) NHTSA¿s progress in improving consistency in its mgmt. reviews; (3) the usefulness of its mgmt. review recommendations; and (4) approaches to further improve safety. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
