1 An Introduction to Local Road Safety Plans June 21, 2018
2 Today s Presenter Jerry Roche, P.E. Safety Analysis Program Manager FHWA Office of Safety Ames, IA 2
3 NACE Do-It-Yourself LRSP Pilot Six states, 25 Counties Including Champaign, Delaware, Franklin, Holmes and Warren Counties from Ohio Blended Delivery
4 Agenda Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Overview Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs) Developing a LRSP Washington s LRSP effort Thurston County, WA Case Study LRSP Examples and Resources 4
5 LRSP Overview 5
6 What is a Local Road Safety Plan? A document that identifies safety issues impacting local roads, and provides a framework to accomplish safety enhancements at the local level to reduce severe crashes Uses a data-driven, risk-based process to identify, analyze, and prioritize safety issues, and targets countermeasures and strategies to address severe crashes on local roads
7 Why Local Road Safety Plans? More than 75% of all roads are maintained by local agencies Approximately 40-60% of fatalities occur on locally owned roadways LRSPS are a proven safety countermeasure 7
8 Clackamas County, OR Video 8
9 Why would a local agency use a local road safety plan? To help define safety priorities To prioritize safety investments To serve as a communication tool To develop lasting partnerships To position an agency to obtain outside funding (e.g., grants) To create a sustainable safety effort To reduce severe crashes occurring in their community 10 9
10 Strategic Highway Safety Plans 10
11 What is an SHSP? A statewide coordinated plan that provides a framework for reducing fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads Identifies a State s key safety needs Management/HighwaySafety/SHSP/Pages/default.aspx Guides investment decisions towards strategies and countermeasures with the most potential to save lives and prevent injuries 11
12 Core Safety Plans and Programs State Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Report submitted annually Infrastructure improvements FHWA approved Updated at least every five years Infrastructure and behavioral countermeasures SHSP process approved by FHWA Requirement of HSIP Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Highway Safety Plan (HSP) Plan submitted annually Behavioral programs NHTSA approved 12
13 Local Roads in Ohio s SHSP OH ( ) Moving forward, Ohio will be placing greater emphasis on providing funding and resources to local governments, which are responsible for improving safety on the majority of Ohio roads. Local roads also have the highest numbers of traffic deaths and serious injuries involving: Bicycles 87% Pedestrians 83% Intersections 70% Alcohol 66% Speed 63% Motorcycles 63% Young drivers (ages 15-25) 63%
14 Developing a LRSP 14
15 The LRSP Development Process Step 1: Establish Leadership Step 2: Analyze the Safety Data Step 3: Determine Emphasis Areas Step 4: Identify Strategies Step 5: Prioritize and Incorporate Strategies Step 6: Evaluate and Update the LRSP FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasure LRSPs 15
16 16 16
17 LRSP Video 17
18 Step 1 Identify Stakeholders Cities Townships MPOs LTAP DOT Law Enforcement Public Health EMS Elected Officials Schools 18
19 Step 2 Use Safety Data & Risks Crash Roadway Traffic Volume Safety Data Enforcement Maintenance Logs Road Safety Audits 19
20 No Data? No Problem Anecdotal information Data from Existing Sources Traffic Violations Maintenance Logs Roadway Risk Factors Traffic volumes Lane Width Shoulder Width Roadside Slopes Curves Curve radii Driveways Presence of Lighting Traffic control Pedestrian and bicycle use & facilities Intersection skew Presence of turn lanes Pavement condition 20
21 Sources of Data Collision Reports & Roadway Attributes Maintenance History Citizen Requests Law Enforcement What if I do not have good local crash data? Strategic Highway Safety Plans Your state highway safety plan (SHSP) is always a good place to start. Although the SHSP may not be community specific it should provide statewide priorities which you can use to develop a emphasis areas for your community 21
22 Risks? 22
23 Analyze Data to Identify Focus/Priorities Basic crash details Primary crash type, junction relationship, fixed object struck Roadway conditions Weather, roadway surface condition, light condition Roadway details Roadway curvature, posted speed Driver details Contributing circumstances, vehicle type Pedestrian details Contributing circumstances, facility type used Cyclist details Contributing circumstances, facility type used 11 23
24 Example Crash Data Summary 24
25 Determine Emphasis Areas Roadway Departure Intersections Pedestrians Bicyclists Impaired Driving Seat Belt Usage Driver Age 25

32 Systemic Safety Analysis Assessing the potential for a specific type of severe crash to occur at a specific location because of the location s characteristics or features (roadway factors). 32
33 The Systemic Approach Implements a system-wide screening of a roadway network based on the presence of roadway characteristics correlated with severe crash types Source: FHWA Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool 33

35 Systemic Safety Analysis 35
36 Risk Factors for Crash Types FHWA s Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool (page 20) 36
37 Ranking Sites by Risk Factors FHWA Systemic Tool Page 46 37
38 Qualitative Approach to Risk Use qualitative ratings when needed: Good, Fair, Not-So-Good (curve radius, roadside, etc.) High, Medium, Low (traffic volumes, pedestrian volumes, crash frequency, etc.) It is important to include the risk factors that are key to your roadway network 38
39 Step 3 Choose Proven Solutions Focus on crash or facility priorities Lane Departure Intersections Vulnerable Users Consider Proven Countermeasures 39
40 FHWA s Proven Safety Countermeasures 40
41 Enhanced Delineation and Friction for Horizontal Curves Enhanced Delineation Pavement Markings Post-mounted delineators Brighter/larger signs Dynamic curve warning signs Increased Pavement Friction Sharp Curves Wet Conditions Polished Surfaces Excessive Speeds 41
42 Systemic Application of Multiple Low-Cost Countermeasures at Stop Controlled Intersections (1) analyze systemwide data to identify a problem (2) look for similar risk factors present in severe crashes (3) deploy on a large scale low-cost countermeasures that address the risk factors contributing to crashes 42
43 Longitudinal Rumble Strips and Stripes Rumble strips and stripes are designed to address these crashes caused by distracted, drowsy, or otherwise inattentive drivers who drift from their lane. 43
44 Leading Pedestrian Interval Increased visibility of crossing pedestrians Reduced conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles Increased likelihood of motorists yielding to pedestrians Enhanced safety for pedestrians who may be slower to start into the intersection 44
45 NHTSA s Countermeasures that work DOT HS Impaired Driving 2. Seatbelts 3. Speed Limits 4. Distracted Driving 5. Motorcycles 6. Young Drivers 7. License Renewal 8. Education Campaigns 9. Bicycle Helmets 45
46 Publicized Sobriety Checkpoints Authorized in 38 States + DC Documented Crash Reduction All Crashes: 10-15% Alcohol-related crashes: 17% Alcohol-related fatal crashes: 9% Page 1-21, countermeasuresthatwork8th.pdf 46
47 Short-Term High-Visibility Belt Law Enforcement Documented Belt Use Increase 16% increase Increased use in conjunction with public education/outreach and paid/donated media Page 2-17, countermeasuresthatwork8th.pdf 47
48 Nighttime Enforcement Belt Use 18% lower at nighttime 64% of nighttime fatalities are unbelted (vs. 47% of daytime fatalities) DWI and Speed-related fatalities also higher at night Page 2-20, countermeasuresthatwork8th.pdf 48

50 Important Distinction Systematic Deploying countermeasures at ALL locations Systemic Deploying countermeasures at locations with the greatest potential for safety improvement Systemic Example: providing enhanced delineation on curves with radii between feet which were overrepresented in severe crashes 50
