Abstract:In accordance with 23 USC 148 and pursuant to 23 CFR 924, the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) has prepared a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Annual Report for State Fiscal Year 2021 (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021). The format of this report is consistent with the reporting guidelines issued by the Federal Highway Administration on February 13, 2013. Some notable accomplishments are as follows: A Local Road Safety Program is in development for the Highway Commission’s approval. It will help the local agencies to improve safety on local roads. A statewide pavement friction improvement study is under construction with completion expected at the end of 2021. A statewide guardrail project is in development to upgrade substandard guardrails to meet the MASH standards on NHS routes. New rounds of cable median barrier installation have been approved to continue to reduce and eliminate KA crashes on Interstates and other high speed highways. While not directly related to the HSIP program, ARDOT has now made retroreflective signal backplates a standard item on all ARDOT projects involving signal work. A systemic, low-cost unsignalized intersection project is under development. A systemic low-cost, Y-type intersection (selected realignment locations) project is under development. The pavement preservation program was used to accomplish shoulder widening and rumble strip installation along various routes where crash history showed such improvements would be effective. A new HSIP Process has been developed and is under administration review. FHWA Safety Data and Analysis Technical Assistance Program (SDATAP) technical assistance concluded this FY. The assistance provided planning documents for a Roadway Safety Management System (RSMS) software tool. These will be used to hire a consultant to develop the software. Online data query tools and dashboards have been maintained for public use. https://ardot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=7976060331fb4930933bf560f8a9c91b A SHSP tracking tool is being developed for use in tracking emphasis area action plans and projects. ARDOT has had an initial meeting regarding a Roadway Data Improvement Plan and is planning on moving forward with this FHWA technical assistance program. This will assess ARDOT's roadway data and make recommendations for improvements. A statewide centerline rumble stripe project is under development. A statewide shoulder rumble stripes and strip study is under development. SHSP is being updated for 2022. ARDOT is taking efforts to develop a horizontal curve and intersection program.
