Abstract:

Human behavior and errors in human judgment account for a large proportion of roadway crashes in the United States. Most priorities in Louisiana’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan involve human behavior. A comprehensive understanding of highway safety culture throughout Louisiana’s regions will enhance the state’s public outreach and education efforts to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. Although efforts have been made to assess overall traffic safety culture at the national level, research at the state level for Louisiana has been limited and typically involves a single emphasis area such as alcohol-involved driving. This project expanded upon this research by assessing behavioral factors related to highway safety across multiple emphasis areas including impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, and seatbelt use.
