Book excerpt: On March 22, 2003, Governor Mark Warner approved Senate Bill 1093 (SB 1093). SB1093 establishes a highway safety corridor (HSC) program for the Commonwealth. The program will attempt to address safety concerns through a combination of law enforcement, education, and safety enhancements. Fines for violations in the highway safety corridors will be doubled up to a maximum of $500. SB 1093 requires that the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner, in conjunction with the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Superintendent of State Police, develop criteria for designating and evaluating highway safety corridors. This process is to include a review of crash data, accident reports, type and volume of vehicular traffic, and engineering and traffic studies. This report provides background information as to how an HSC program might operate in Virginia as well as a general indication of its potential impact on highway safety. Examples of similar programs in other states are reviewed, and a general framework for establishing an HSC program in Virginia is presented. Experiences from around the nation suggest that an HSC program could create beneficial safety impacts, but further work is needed to refine it.

Book excerpt: "The needs for a comprehensive synthesis of Safety Corridor programs throughout the nation was expressed by states in the Midwest in order to more effectively implement programs and select pilot corridors in the respective states. Information was gathered from 12 surveyed states that currently have some type of Safety Corridor program. The 12 states include Alaska, California, Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington. Members of each state DOT as well as FHWA divisions were contacted and interviewed about their respective programs."--(p.ii)
Download or read book Identifying and Implementing Corridor Safety Improvements written by Jerome P. Breyer and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores Arizona's ability to adopt the FHWA Corridor Safety Improvement Program (CSIP) model and adapt it to work within the institutional, jurisdictional, resource, and funding framework of Arizona. The results of the project indicate that: 1) ADOT is only one of several state agencies that have a hand in promoting and providing highway safety; 2) All agencies that endeavor to improve highway safety should collaborate and focus on high-risk corridors to effectively develop multi-objective action plans and implement the most appropriate countermeasures; 3) The identification of high risk spots and corridors can be greatly assisted using contemporary Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial analysis tools and the Accident Location Identification Surveillance System (ALISS) crash database; and 4) The ADOT photo log and Global Positioning System (GPS)-derived corridor centerline files add a unique level of comprehension of safety problems by showing signing/striping/guardrail conditions in plan and profile views overlain with the ALISS crash history and a link to a photo log image of the roadway.
Download or read book Development and Evaluation of Virginia s Highway Safety Corridor Program written by Michael D. Fontaine and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 1, 2003, legislation went into effect that established a highway safety corridor (HSC) program for Virginia. The intent of the HSC program is to address safety concerns through a combination of law enforcement, education, and engineering countermeasures. Fines for violations in the highway safety corridors are doubled, subject to a $200 minimum for criminal infractions and a $500 maximum for traffic offenses. The Code of Virginia required the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner, in conjunction with the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, to develop criteria for designating and evaluating highway safety corridors. The legislation required that this process include a review of "crash data, accident reports, type and volume of vehicular traffic, and engineering and traffic studies." This report documents the results of a study to develop a method to designate HSCs on Virginia's interstate and primary systems. The impacts of the HSC program on interstate crashes and speeds are also presented. The framework for the interstate program described was adopted and applied by the Virginia Department of Transportation, resulting in the installation of three HSCs around the state. The results of an evaluation of the data for 2004 indicate that the program did not produce a benefit in terms of safety or speed reduction, although the results were based on only 1 year of data. Preliminary crash data for 2005 indicate that a positive safety benefit may have occurred at the I-81 and I-95 Richmond HSCs. A rigorous analysis of the 2005 data could not be performed since comparison site data were not yet available, but the preliminary data seem promising. The HSC program currently does not have any dedicated resources with which countermeasures may be implemented; this may limit the potential effectiveness of the program. Additional effects might be observed if dedicated resources were available to allow a more systematic approach to enforcement, education, and engineering within the designated HSCs. Further analysis of the HSCs using at least two more years of data should be performed to gain a more accurate picture of whether the HSCs have had a positive safety benefit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, following a series of fatal crashes on U.S. Route 322, Pennsylvania's governor directed Pennsylvania's secretary of transportation to develop immediate, short-term measures to improve safety on the roadway. In response, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) led a multidisciplinary team that developed a fourteen-point safety plan for the corridor. PennDOT immediately declared the initiative a success and implemented similar efforts statewide. The Federal Highway Administration heard about these programs, named Corridor Safety Improvement Programs (CSIPs), and encouraged other states to use them. Following Pennsylvania, numerous states, including Virginia and California, developed CSIPs. Further, in 1997, a series of fatal crashes on U.S. Route 28 in Virginia led to Virginia's governor directing Virginia's secretary of transportation to improve safety on the roadway, as had happened in Pennsylvania. This study investigates these safety efforts to determine the factors associated with effectiveness. The researcher presents model guidelines for developing effective corridor safety programs.
