STAYIN' ALIVE : AVOIDING OFF-THE-ROAD CRASHES

A Karr

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Fatalities from run-off-the-road crashes have remained fairly constant for many years. Most happen when a vehicle collides with a fixed object such as a tree, utility pole or sign post near the side of the road. The article describes federal, state and local initiatives to set and implement standards for roadside safety and notes that efforts have stalled in recent decades because of high costs and political resistance. Includes a list of strategies developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
