ISP Secondary Crash Reduction Policy
As soon as practical following assignment of a crash investigation by Indiana State Police personnel, on scene unit(s) will make an assessment of the potential for a significant traffic back-up and the projected duration of the back-up.
A patrol unit (preferably marked) will be assigned to maintain a position (out of the traveled portion of the roadway, if possible) near the rearmost portion of the back-up.

ISP Secondary Crash Reduction Policy
This unit shall activate all emergency lighting to serve as a warning to approaching motorists of stopped traffic on the roadway ahead.
This unit will move forwards and backwards, as the back-up dictates, to maintain approximately a 200 to 300 yard distance behind the rearmost vehicle.

What can WE do?
55
Responders arriving at a traffic incident should, within minutes of arrival on-scene, estimate the magnitude of the traffic incident, the expected time duration of the traffic incident, and the expected queue length, and then set up the appropriate temporary traffic controls for these estimates.

For every minute that a freeway travel lane is blocked during a peak travel period, four minutes of travel delay results after the incident is cleared.

Secondary Incident is:
an incident that occurs as a direct or indirect result of a previous incident. An incident occurring in the queue expanding from an initial incident, of any kind. These sometimes lead to additional incidents, but all are referred to as “secondary.”

Safety Impact Crashes that result from other incidents
(secondary) are estimated to be 20% of all crashes.
Chances of a Secondary Crash increase by 2.8% for each minute the primary incident is not cleared.
These Secondary Crashes are estimated to cause 18% of deaths on freeways.
In 2008 21% of Indiana’s crashes showed vehicles “Slowed or stopped in traffic”, secondary crashes!
