Abstract

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITS) and its members along with many other people have been doing their part for safety by reducing the number of accidents. In fact, 1999 has the lowest fatality accident rate in the history of the United States. With efforts of the past three decades, the number of accidents have reduced gradually each yea in response to safety activities. Unfortunately, there has not been any dynamic reduction in the number of accidents and accident severity. What can traffic engineers do to have a major impact on safety? This paper is intended to answer this question.
