Guidance for Implementation of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan. Volume 20: A Guide for Reducing Head-On Crashes on Freeways

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has adopted a national highway safety goal of halving fatalities over the next 2 decades--or reducing the number of fatalities by 1,000 per year. This goal can be achieved through the widespread application of low-cost, proven countermeasures that reduce the number of crashes on the nation's highways. This twentieth volume of NCHRP Report 500, Guidance for Implementation of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan, provides strategies that can be employed to reduce head-on crashes on freeways. The report will be of particular interest to safety practitioners with responsibility for implementing programs to reduce injuries and fatalities on the highway system.
