Abstract:

The Southeastern states have some of the highest overall traffic collision rates in the United States. Collision rates on secondary highways in the region are particularly high compared to other regions and compared to higher functional classes in the Southeast. This report presents the results from Phase I of the study, focusing on the analysis of collisions. The overall goals of this study are to examine the factors that influence collisions on secondary roadways and to recommend effective countermeasures. This report presents Phase I results that related to the effects of environmental, roadway, vehicle and driver factors on secondary road collisions in the Southeastern United States. Included are: the opinions of officials in the region's state highway and safety agencies on the common secondary road problems and countermeasures; a detailed analysis of collision and roadway data from six representative counties (two each in Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee); and an analysis of statewide collision data using the quasi-induced exposure method to examine the impact of driver and vehicle characteristics in Kentucky and North Carolina. The factors influencing collisions were analyzed with a view to determine promising countermeasures for reducing collision frequency and injury severity. Phase II of the project will focus on developing a methodology for identifying effective countermeasures.
