LOCATION OF FATALITES AND MAJOR INJURIES

The 70 fatal crashes occurred during this time period seem to be spread across the region on more rural sections of the region’s state

highways. The 241 major injury

crashes from this time are also spread across the region but seem to be more frequent in urban areas.

IOWA STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN

DMATS will examine, evaluate, and implement the regional strategies contained in the Iowa Strategic Highway Safety Plan

Policy

Public agencies must choose the messages they will focus efforts

n with great care.

Education

Education involves informing users about unsafe behaviors and suggesting ways to improve safety when they use the transportation system. .

Multimedia

education campaign

Enforcement

Law enforcement officers play a valuable role in maintaining the region’s transportation safety and security.

Engineering

Local public works departments

r state departments of

transportation often implement engineering strategies to improve roadway safety.

Research & Data

Data is the foundation of a strategic plan to reduce fatalities and major injuries.

Enhance driver

education

EDUCATIONAL SAFETY AREA

Young drivers (14 -24 years of age) accounted for 34.55 percent of injuries in RPA 8

DIRECTION

Target enhancements to strengthen driver education courses.

Chapter 6: Safety & Security

Involve parents in driver education

courses.

Require more behind-the wheel

instruction time.

Require a diversity of driving conditions

(all weather conditions, daytime and nighttime, all road surfaces).
