Book Description
In 1989, the Highway Traffic Safety Division, Montana Department of Justice (currently Montana Department of Transportation, Highway Traffic Safety Bureau) embarked on a unique safety program in an attempt to reduce accidents involving elderly drivers, on a corridor wide basis. The program was based on a multi-disciplinary team concept, involving federal, state and local agencies and promoting programs dealing with education, enforcement, licensing and engineering. After a selection process, which targeted elderly driver accidents, a 40.7 mile section of U.S. 93, between Hamilton and Missoula, Montana, was chosen as the first corridor safety improvement site.

Identifying and Implementing Corridor Safety Improvements

Pages : 144
Book Description
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.

Safe Passages
Author: Jon P. Beckmann
Publisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1597269670
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Safe Passages brings together in a single volume the latest information on the emerging science of road ecology as it relates to mitigating interactions between roads and wildlife. This practical handbook of tools and examples is designed to assist individuals and organizations thinking about or working toward reducing road-wildlife impacts. The book provides: an overview of the importance of habitat connectivity with regard to roads current planning approaches and technologies for mitigating the impacts of highways on both terrestrial and aquatic species different facets of public participation in highway-wildlife connectivity mitigation projects case studies from partnerships across North America that highlight successful on-the-ground implementation of ecological and engineering solutions recent innovative highway-wildlife mitigation developments Detailed case studies span a range of scales, from site-specific wildlife crossing structures, to statewide planning for habitat connectivity, to national legislation. Contributors explore the cooperative efforts that are emerging as a result of diverse organizations—including transportation agencies, land and wildlife management agencies, and nongovernmental organizations—finding common ground to tackle important road ecology issues and problems. Safe Passages is an important new resource for local-, state-, and national-level managers and policymakers working on road-wildlife issues, and will appeal to a broad audience including scientists, agency personnel, planners, land managers, transportation consultants, students, conservation organizations, policymakers, and citizens engaged in road-wildlife mitigation projects.
