Abstract:

Local roads make up 73 percent of all road miles in Louisiana and have ; 40 perfect of all crashes that occur yearly on Louisiana roads. Over the ; past 5 years, 851 fatal crashes, over 81,000 injury crashes, and over 23,000 ; property-damage-only crashes occurred on local roads. The total cost ; for these crashes added up to over $10 billion. Louisiana also has one ; of the highest insurance premiums of all 50 states. Being among the 10 ; worst states with respect to safety performance in the U.S., Louisiana ; has launched an ambitious Strategic Highway Safety Plan aiming at zero ; death with the interim goal to reduce traﬃ c fatalities and serious injuries ; by half by 2030. An accomplishment of such tall objectives calls for ; eﬀ ective crash countermeasures in all aspects, including reducing crashes ; on local roads. Thus, local road crash countermeasures are an important ; part of the overall eﬀ orts to reduce crashes in Louisiana and their impact ; on lives, health, and the economy.
