Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This SHSP is a tool to assist in achieving the goal of significantly reducing the number of traffic-related deaths and disabling injuries in Kansas. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has an existing Highway Safety Plan (impaired driving, occupant protection, data improvement, and other behavior programs) and a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) (roadway infrastructure and highway- railroad crossing safety). The Kansas Highway Patrol maintains the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (commercial driver and vehicle safety). This SHSP includes, builds upon, and integrates these programs in reducing fatalities and incapacitating injuries on Kansas roadways and contains performance-driven strategies that focus the limited highway safety resources toward this common goal"--Page 9

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A strategic highway safety plan is a coordinated and informed approach to reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. ... Some people call those events "accidents." We don't. The word "accidents," implies such events are unavoidable. They're not. Their number can be - must be - reduced. ... In 2009, we established a goal to cut fatalities and serious injuries in half by 2029. With a five-year average of 417 fatalities, the goal was to be at or below 208 fatalities by 2029. In 2017, the five-year average was 396. We saw record low years in 2013 and 2015, only to see fatalities reach 461 in 2017. This pattern was seen nationally as well. However, we did see a significant drop in serious injuries in less than 10 years. The five-year average in 2009 was 1,762, and the goal was to be at or below 881 by 2029. In 2017, the five-year average was 1,211. It is difficult to understand the difference between fatality trends and serious injury trends, but the latter is certainly an encouraging sign. It is also encouraging to note that fatalities and serious injuries have dropped since 2009 even as traffic volumes have continued to increase statewide. This means the fatality rate, the number of fatalities per mile driven, has also dropped. Part of the credit for the declines belongs to highway departments. They've worked for decades to make roadways safer, installing rumble strips to keep drivers in their lanes and engineering shoulders and adjacent spaces for those who leave them. Part of the credit goes to vehicle manufacturers and their introduction of such advances as air bags, seat belts and anti-lock brakes. Finally, drivers themselves have taken more personal responsibility. More are buckling up and "one for the road" is no longer acceptable."--Introduction.

Download or read book Evaluation of Bypass Lane Safety Operations and Design in Kansas written by Sunanda Dissanayake and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of bypass lanes at rural intersections has typically been considered a low-cost highway safety improvement by the transportation community. However, this needs to be quantitatively evaluated so that decisions can be made on whether to continue adding bypass lanes. Highway safety analyses utilize two common approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment: before-and-after study and cross-sectional study, both of which were utilized in this study. For the before-and-after study approach, this research performed paired sample t-test statistical analysis to estimate changes in total crash frequencies, crash rates, Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) crash frequencies, and EPDO crash rates at intersections 3 to 5 years after the addition of bypass lanes, compared to 3 to 5 years before bypass lane additions. Crash data between 1990 and 2011 were obtained from the Kansas Crash and Analysis Record System (KCARS), maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). For the cross-sectional study, intersections with bypass lanes were compared to intersections with no bypass lanes, for which crash data were obtained for more than 1,100 intersections in Kansas. According to the before-and-after study, bypass lanes improve safety at unsignalized rural intersections. Total number of crashes and crash severity decreased after bypass lane additions, but these reductions were not statistically significant at a 95% confidence level for the majority of cases. For intersection-related crashes, however, a statistically significant reduction in crash rates occurred after the addition of bypass lanes at three-legged intersections. By lowering the confidence level to 90%, however, more categories become significant for both three-legged and four-legged intersections. In the cross-sectional study, number of crashes and crash severities were lower at three-legged intersections with bypass lanes compared to three-legged intersections without bypass lanes, even though these reductions were not statistically significant at a 95% level. When considering a 300-ft intersection box, statistically significant crash reductions occurred at four-legged intersections, for all considered crash and crash rate categories. When considering 90% level, crash reduction at three-legged intersections was also statistically significant when considering a 300-ft intersection box. Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) calculated to evaluate safety effectiveness of bypass lanes at unsignalized rural intersections in Kansas showed values less than 1.0 for almost all cases, indicating safety benefits of bypass lanes. Overall, this study concludes that bypass lanes are beneficial in improving safety in rural areas, even though they may not be advisable in high volume conditions. Accordingly, there is no harm in continuing with the practice of adding shoulder bypass lanes at rural unsignalized intersections where the traffic volumes are relatively low.
