INTERSECTION CRASH COUNTERMEASURES

CRASH TYPE ROADWAY INTERSECTION MARKINGS, SIGNS EDUCATION/ENFORCEMENT

High Friction Surface Treatment -

approaches to intersections to

reduce stopping time

Intersection Markings - advanced

warning (including signs, flashing

beacons, transverse rumble strips)

Signal/Optimize Timing - consider

all-red phase, longer yellow

Education - Motorist (include gap

acceptance and intersection

crash frequency in driver

education curriculum)

Lighting Improvements Sight Distance Improvements Pavement Marking Improvements



crash frequency for programs

targeting older adult drivers)

Turn Bay and Acceleration Lanes -

high speed rural roads Sign Improvements



crash frequency for programs

targeting young adult drivers)

Roundabouts

Education - Engineers (driveway

regulations in relation to

intersections; coordinate with

city, county, and state engineers)Grade Separation Speed Monitoring Trailer

Turning Restrictions - prohibit right

on red and permissive left turns EnforcementConvert free flow turn lanes (i.e.

slip lanes) to angled turn lanes that

require a stop/yield

EMS - emergency vehicle signal

preemption

ALL SEVERE INTERSECTION

CRASHES

Consider treatments that increase safety for pedestrians and bicyclists that relate to the roadway, intersection, markings, signs, signals,

education, and enforcement (10% of severe intersection crashes involve a person walking or bicycling)

Different types and levels of penalties for

violations of laws

Pre-tested campaign messages to the target

audience

Advance warnings (signs, markings, rumble

strips)

Collaborate with law enforcement on the use

of crash data for targeted enforcement

Leverage data for targeted messaging to

groups and geographiesEncourage cities to implement temporary

demonstration of safe design speed projects

in various land use contexts

Disseminate Vision Zero information as

related to speeding, and encourage cities to

adopt a Vision Zero policy and program

Targeted speed limit considering below

instead of 85th percentile speed (NACTO

Guidelines, ITE Urban Thoroughfares report):Road designVulnerable usersTraffic operationsWork zonesLand use and Context

assessment and treatment Control and monitor alcohol sales

Mass media campaigns to inform people

about dangers of driving while impaired

Use a data driven approach to optimize areas Monitor repeating offenders

Increase alcohol taxes and restrictions on

consumption

Educate young drivers through classroom,

news media, advertisements

Enforce Administrative License Revocation or

Suspension (ALR/ALS)

Enforce restrictions on license (courses,

interlock ignition license and suspension, etc.)

Provide and promote alternative

transportation options such as taxi, bus, rail

etc.

Develop and maintain data to identify

correlations between impaired driving

incidents and Alcohol Beverage Control

licensing data by road type, corridor, county

and region

Increase penalties for test refusal, high Blood

Alcohol Content (BAC), repeated offenses etc.

Create local task forces to identify local

actions

Educate the police, community leaders,

public, and traffic safety partners on the role

of regular traffic enforcement

Publicize and enforce laws prohibiting alcohol-

impaired driving

Promote trip planning through apps and

technology

Demonstrate to all road users the magnitude

of the impact of impaired driving crashes

Increase high visibility patrols

Partner with community groups to develop a

comprehensive action plan

Educate medical professionals to inform

patients of the effects of medicationsDedicated DWI courts

Limitations on diversion and plea agreementsCourt monitoring programs for citizens to

monitor court activitiesDevelop training for prosecutors and regular
