Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Highway Safety Improvement Projects constructed by the Department during 1975 through 1978. The projects included crossover improvement, passing lane construction, drainage improvements, shoulder reconstruction, intersection improvements, and skid resistant overlays. Evaluation consisted of statistical and economic assessment of the projects goal of reducing the number and severity of accidents. The goal of this study was to improve the Department's ability in making future decisions with regard to all components with the Highway Safety Program so that scarce safety funds can be properly allocated to high payoff projects and diverted from marginal or ineffective ones.
