Since 1997, 12,625 people have lost their lives and almost 800,000 have been injured on Missouri roadways. These numbers are almost equal to the combined populations of St. Louis, Jefferson City and Kansas City. Each loss results in personal tragedy for the individual’s family, friends and community. Every life lost or every person injured is one too many.

miSSOuri’S NEw bluEpriNT TO ArriVE AliVE FROM THE ExECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE MISSOURI COALITION FOR ROADWAy SAFETy
Friends, It is with great pleasure we present you with the newest edition of Missouri’s strategic highway safety plan – Missouri’s Blueprint to ARRIVE ALIVE. It contains strategies to reduce traffic crashes on Missouri roads, ultimately saving lives and reducing injuries. Our new goal for Missouri is set to reduce traffic fatalities to 850 or fewer by 2012. Saving lives is what it’s all about. This shared belief initiated a partnership of safety advocates across Missouri, including law enforcement agencies, health care providers, courts, local, state and federal government agencies, advocacy groups, planning organizations, concerned citizens and others who banded together to form Missouri’s Coalition for Roadway Safety. Through hard work and positive partnerships, we know our efforts are working. We reached the goal of the original Blueprint document created in 2004 – 1,000 or fewer fatalities by 2008 – an entire year early. In 2007, 992 people died in traffic crashes, down from 1,096 in 2006 and 1,257 in 2005. Engineering improvements along with the combination of law enforcement and educational efforts have been proven to reduce fatalities and serious injuries. Our hope is to continue to see such amazing results in the upcoming years.

We all play an important role in safety and can make a positive difference. Please take the time to become familiar with the new Blueprint. The power of partnerships is strong and together we will continue to help Missourians ARRIVE ALIVE!
was developed in consultation with many safety advocates. It challenged safety partners throughout the state to implement targeted strategies in the enforcement, engineering, education and emergency medical services areas that would lead toward reaching a goal of 1,000 or fewer roadway fatalities by 2008. It also outlined a strategy to organize 10 regional safety coalitions designed to work in concert with the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety. Together, they embraced the elements of the Blueprint and implemented a comprehensive, coordinated, and focused effort to reduce fatalities and disabling injuries on Missouri roads. Missouri’s Blueprint to ARRIVE ALIVE is a continuation of the collective efforts of safety advocates from around the state who are working to reduce the number of people who die or are seriously injured in these tragic events.
In November 2004, Missouri’s Blueprint for Safer Roadways
This Blueprint is built on seven guiding principles: 1. Focus on reducing fatal and disabling injuries 2. Apply to state and local roads 3. Consider all four “Es:” Education, Enforcement, Engineering and Emergency Medical Services 4. Use research, data, and safety professionals to guide the strategies 5. Support deployment of system-wide safety engineering enhancements 6. Implement initiatives at the state and regional levels 7. Monitor progress in implementing the strategies, meeting the fatality reduction goal, and decreasing the number of disabling injuries The word “our” is used throughout the remainder of the document. “Our” not only refers to the safety partners and their corresponding organizations but to every Missourian using our roadway system as a vehicle driver, passenger, bicyclist or pedestrian. 3
Our GOAl
In 2004, our long-range goal was 1,000 or fewer fatalities by 2008. The goal, that at first seemed almost unattainable, was achieved one year early when the total number of fatalities was reduced to 992 in 2007. Between 2005 and 2007, our death rate per 100 million vehicle miles of travel dropped from 1.8 to 1.4 and 21 percent fewer lives were lost on Missouri highways. With the task of updating the 2004 Blueprint came the challenge of setting a new fatality reduction goal. The Blueprint vision is to work toward zero fatalities on Missouri roads. After careful deliberation, our new goal is 850 or fewer fatalities by 2012. Aggressive implementation of the new “Targeted 10” and other key strategies outlined in Missouri’s Blueprint to ARRIVE ALIVE is essential for this goal to become a reality.
Undergirding the statewide initiatives are collaborative partnerships consisting of federal, state, county, and local governments; elected and non-elected officials; and nongovernmental organizations. These partnerships are all working to empower local people to solve local road safety issues. The partnerships are nurtured through the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety and its 10 regional safety coalitions. Ultimately, their job is to mobilize the safety partners within the state or their region to implement strategies to reduce serious injuries and save lives. The success of moving Missouri’s Blueprint to ARRIVE ALIVE from paper to action hinges on the strength and the resolve of both the state and regional coalition network.

the Executive Committee
Our GOOD NEwS
The safety partnership, deployment of focused strategies on both the state and regional level, and targeted public information campaigns coupled with strong enforcement and engineering improvements all contributed to achieving the goal of fewer than 1,000 fatalities by 2008. Not only was the goal met, but we were able to reach it one year early. The last time Missouri recorded fewer than 1,000 fatalities in one year was in 1993. Losing 992 individuals in 2007 is unacceptable, but the lives saved in both 2006 and 2007 are a tribute to the Blueprint and the many coalition partners who labored to make the goal a reality. Leading up to this accomplishment was a 12.8 percent reduction in deaths between 2005 and 2006, from 1,257 deaths
to 1,096. Down by 161 deaths in 2006, missouri experienced the largest fatality reduction in the nation. When 2006 and 2007 are combined, Missouri had a 21 percent reduction in deaths or 265 fewer lives lost in just two years. In 2007, Missouri also had the lowest fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles of travel (VMT) in history, 1.4 fatalities per 100 million VMT. In addition to the fatality reduction, Missouri is continuing to see a steady decline in disabling injuries. The decline began in 2004 with 8,857 disabling injuries and fell to 7,744 in 2007. This is all good news for Missourians, but we still have more work to do.
Our New “Targeted 10”
In Missouri’s Blueprint for Safer Roadways, eight key strategies were identified and called the “Essential Eight.” Focusing on the implementation of a few strategic priorities remains crucial in Missouri’s Blueprint to ARRIVE ALIVE. These priority strategies are imperative if continued progress is going to be made and our new goal of 850 or fewer fatalities by 2012 is going to be met. The “Targeted 10” encompasses strategies in the education, enforcement, engineering, and public policy areas. Some of these strategies were previously included in the “Essential Eight.” Each strategy was selected because of its life-saving and injury reduction potential. A target icon is used throughout the remainder of the document to identify the “Targeted 10” and to draw attention to their importance.
Essential Eight progress report
The following is a brief progress report describing the implementation status of the previous key strategies known as the “Essential Eight” as identified in the 2004-2008 Blueprint for Safer Roadways document.
pass a primary Safety belt law and maintain and Enhance Existing Safety laws Unfortunately, Missouri has not passed a primary safety belt law. In 2007, safety partners led a large-scale effort in support of this law but were unsuccessful. This effort likely had a positive impact, since fatalities declined and safety belt use increased by 2 percent that year. If Missouri passed this law, approximately 90 lives would be saved and more than 1,000 disabling injuries would be prevented each year.

pass a primary Safety belt law and maintain and Enhance Existing Safety laws increase Enforcement on Targeted Crash Corridors increase public Education and information on Traffic Safety issues Expand the installation of Shoulder and Centerline rumble Strips/Stripes Expand, improve and maintain roadway Visibility Features (pavement markings, signs, lighting, etc.) Effectively Deter, identify, Arrest, and Adjudicate Alcohol and Other Drug impaired Drivers and pedestrians Expand installation and maintenance of roadway Shoulders remove and/or Shield Fixed Objects Along roadside right of way improve and Expand intersection Safety with the use of innovative Engineering Designs (e.g., J-turns, roundabouts), Technology and Enforcement improve Curve recognition Through the use of Signs, markings, and pavement Treatments
Selected groups continue to attempt to repeal Missouri’s all-rider motorcycle helmet law each legislative session. In states where helmet laws are repealed, fatalities increase dramatically. Aggressive initiatives by the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety and its 10 regional coalitions played a major role in the defeat of this proposed legislation. Missouri did pass a new booster seat law in 2006. The law requires children who have outgrown their child safety seat to be placed in a booster seat until they are at least 8 years old, 80 pounds, or 4’9” tall. The booster seat provides optimal protection in a crash for children in this range.
n
increase Enforcement on Targeted Crash Corridors
This system-wide engineering approach moves away from concentrating only on lagging indicators (crashes after they happen) to a focus on leading indicators (the prevention of crashes before they happen). It involves applying safety countermeasures to large portions of the roadway system that have no crash history. Careful attention to the maintenance of these improvements is imperative to ensure continuation of their life-saving benefits.
Data is provided to state and local law enforcement agencies throughout Missouri identifying high crash corridors. Hazardous moving violation initiatives as well as work zone enforcement efforts are conducted by these agencies. In 2007, MoDOT’s Highway Safety Division funded 16,479 overtime hours that resulted in 211,377 contacts by law enforcement. There were 150,687 vehicle violations written as well as 754 felony arrests, 1,339 drug arrests, 37 vehicles recovered, and 2,280 fugitives apprehended. During the work zone enforcement in 2007 there were 2,215 stops and 2,510 violations written in 1,983 hours of overtime. Speeding was the most frequent violation with 1,571 tickets written.
n
increase public Education and information on Traffic Safety issues
The establishment of a public information subcommittee under the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety was instrumental in the successful implementation of this strategy. The subcommittee developed an annual statewide media plan; identified ARRIVE ALIVE as the overarching message for the coalition’s public information activities; developed a youth safety belt campaign entitled “Never Made It;” created a web site for coalition activities (saveMOlives. com); created a youth web site (saveMOyouth.com); and coordinated yearly statewide safety campaigns with the 10 regional safety coalitions.
n
barriers, three-strand cable, and pedestrian islands; lettering was enlarged on approximately 2,500 signs on the most heavily traveled roadways; and lighting was added to selected interchanges and intersections.
n
Expand installation of median Three-Strand Cable or Equivalent barrier
Over 500 miles of three-strand cable has been installed using a systems approach on major interstates in the state. Cable installation has reduced cross-median fatalities by 96 percent on interstates 70 and 44.
n
Expand the installation of Shoulder, Edgeline, and Centerline rumble Strips
Effectively Deter, Arrest, and Adjudicate Alcohol and Other Drug impaired Drivers and pedes trians
During the Smooth Roads Initiative in 2005 and 2006, approximately 1,500 miles of edgeline/shoulder rumble strips were installed on major roadways across the state. In addition, rumble strips were incorporated into MoDOT policy to ensure this safety enhancement is used in future roadway improvements. As part of the Better Roads, Brighter Future initiative, additional rumble strips will be installed.
n
During these critical years there have been additional sobriety checkpoints and impaired driving efforts across the state. These include expansion of the DRE (Drug Recognition Expert) training, updating officers on the 24-hour Standardized Field Sobriety Testing curriculum, conducting special impaired driving initiatives, and implementing quarterly impaired driving enforcement initiatives. More than 600 sobriety checkpoints have been conducted in the past three years.
n
7
Expand, improve, and maintain roadway Visibility Features (e.g., markings, signs, lighting, etc.)
Enhancement of roadway visibility features was another key element of the Smooth Roads Initiative. Edgeline markings were widened from 4 inches to 6 inches; delineators were placed on guardrails, raised medians, concrete median
Expand installation and maintenance of roadway Shoulders and Clear Zones
The Better Roads, Brighter Future program brings 3,300 miles of our most heavily traveled roads up to good condition. Installation and maintenance of roadway shoulders and clear zones are an important component of this initiative. Four-foot shoulders are being added to many roadways throughout the state.
Our EmphASiS AND FOCuS ArEAS
Five Emphasis Areas and 19 Focus Areas are addressed in the Blueprint in order to make the biggest reduction in roadway fatalities and injuries. These were identified through extensive data analysis and review of current research. (Data used to help determine these Emphasis and Focus Areas are located in Appendices A, B, and C.)

Our Key Emphasis Areas, Focus Areas and Strategies
In this section of the document, the Key Emphasis Areas and their corresponding Focus Areas and Strategies are discussed. Fatal and disabling injury crashes and fatal and disabling injuries data (2005-2007) are provided for each focus area. In addition, there is a short segment discussing the nature of the problem for each focus area. Strategies in the Education, Emergency Medical Services, Enforcement, Engineering, and Public Policy/Other areas also are identified for each focus area. (There is a listing of documents in Appendix D that contains additional strategies that may be used to address many of the Focus Areas. These documents are excellent resources and provide supplementary guidance for the prevention or reduction of crashes or injuries.)
EMPHASIS AREA I / SEriOuS CrASh TYpES
SERIOUS CRASH TyPES
9 Several specific crash types result in numerous fatalities and disabling injuries each year. Based on data analysis, five serious crash types are of particular concern: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Run-Off-Road Crashes Crashes involving Horizontal Curves Head-On Crashes Collisions with Trees or Poles Intersection Crashes (Signalized and Unsignalized) Table 1 shows a three-year total for fatalities and disabling injuries by each of the serious crash types. As Table 1 indicates, run-off-road and horizontal curve crashes result in the most fatalities and disabling injuries. Crashes can involve more than one factor (e.g., horizontal curve, run-offroad, collision with tree); therefore, adding these numbers together will represent more than the total number of fatalities and disabling injuries.
Collectively, these serious crash types resulted in 4,268 fatalities and 28,993 disabling injuries from 2005-2007. Table 1

run-Off-road Crashes
The problem
In Missouri, 46 percent of the fatalities and 42 percent of the disabling injuries in the state are attributed to vehicles leaving the roadway. Forty-three percent of fatal and disabling injury run-off-road crashes occurred on two-lane rural roads. When vehicles leave the roadway, the roadway environment (including ditches and fixed objects) impact the crash severity. The purpose of these strategies is to keep vehicles in their driving lane, provide an opportunity for the driver to recover if they leave their lane, and to reduce the crash severity.
Crashes involving horizontal Curves
The problem
A driver is three times more likely to be involved in a crash on a horizontal curve than on a straight stretch of roadway. In Missouri, 34 percent of all fatalities and 28 percent of all disabling injuries in the past three years occurred along horizontal curves. Fifty percent of the fatalities on horizontal curves occurred at night; 58 percent of the fatal and disabling injury crashes on horizontal curves involved single vehicles leaving the roadway and striking fixed objects or overturning.
Strategies
Education n Train and educate roadway users to safely recover after leaving the roadway Emergency medical Services n Develop and implement a plan to expand the awareness and use of In Case of Emergency (ICE) Engineering · Install centerline and shoulder rumble stripes where possible

n
Resource documents that contain additional strategies are located in Appendix D.
head-On Crashes
The problem
Seventeen percent of Missouri’s fatalities and 10 percent of the disabling injuries are attributed to head-on crashes. These crashes occur when vehicles leave their driving lanes and cross over into oncoming traffic, exposing them to headon type collisions. The purpose of the strategies listed below is to keep vehicles in their driving lane and mitigate crash severity.
Strategies
Education n Train and educate roadway users on passing zone markings and lanes Emergency medical Services n Develop and implement a plan to expand the awareness and use of ICE Enforcement n Strictly enforce vehicle passing regulations Engineering · Install centerline rumble stripes where possible n Install median three-strand cable or equivalent barrier n Install, as appropriate, “No Passing Zone” signs n Establish, as appropriate, passing lanes on rural two-lane roads public policy / Other n Amend RSMo 304.016 to make crossing a solid yellow center stripe to pass, a traffic violation
Resource documents that contain additional strategies are located in Appendix D.
*Fatalities and disabling injuries are only those people killed or seriously injured when colliding with trees or utility poles.
Strategies
Emergency medical Services n Develop and implement a plan to expand the awareness and use of ICE Engineering As appropriate, remove trees, relocate utility poles or provide underground utilities Shield motorists from trees, utility poles, or other fixed objects as suitable As appropriate, provide adequate clear zones (consider clearing or shielding fixed objects beyond clear zones) n Provide utility pole delineation (e.g. reflectors) as appropriate
Resource documents that contain additional strategies are located in Appendix D.
SERIOUS CRASH TyPES
11
When vehicles leave the roadway, they often strike an object. Two of the objects they strike most frequently are trees and utility poles. Collisions involving a tree or utility pole account for 16 percent of fatalities and 13 percent of disabling injuries. The strategies listed below reduce the chance of an errant vehicle impacting a tree or utility pole and mitigate crash severity.
intersection Crashes
Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections
SERIOUS CRASH TyPES
The problem
In Missouri, intersection crashes account for 16 percent of the fatalities and 28 percent of the disabling injuries. Severe crashes at signalized intersections usually are a result of non-compliance with the traffic signal. Severe crashes at unsignalized intersections occur when one or more of the vehicles are traveling at a high rate of speed upon impact. Potential causes of crashes may be inattention, sight distance issues, poor visibility and gap judgment, disregard for traffic control devices, excessive speed, and non-compliance with traffic control devices. Low-cost safety improvements can help improve intersection safety. When there is new construction or major reconstruction, innovative engineering designs should be considered.

HIGH–RISK DRIVERS AND OCCUPANTS
Extensive data analysis identified several categories involving high-risk drivers and occupants that are posing significant problems:
Table 2 shows a three-year total for roadway deaths and disabling injuries resulting from crashes involving high-risk drivers and vehicle occupants. Crashes can involve more than one factor (e.g., speeding, impaired by alcohol and/ or other drugs); therefore, adding these numbers together will represent more than the total number of fatalities and disabling injuries.
unrestrained Occupants HIGH–RISK DRIVERS AND OCCUPANTS
The problem
One of the best means of defense in a crash is to be protected by a safety belt or child restraint. If properly restrained by a safety belt, the chance of surviving an automobile crash increases by 45 percent and the chance of surviving a light truck crash increases by 60 percent. you’re 20 times more likely to die in a crash if not buckled up. Although Missouri has had a steady increase in safety belt use since 1999 when observational survey data was first collected, the state has consistently lagged below the national average – anywhere from five to seven percentage points. Occupant restraint usage rates are obtained annually by conducting observational surveys for four key target groups. These surveys include a statewide safety belt use survey, teen safety belt use survey, child safety seat use survey, and commercial motor vehicle safety belt use survey. Safety belt use rates by pickup truck drivers (collected in statewide survey) and teens are both lower than the statewide rate of 77 percent and are of particular concern.
*Fatal and disabling injury crashes involved at least one vehicle occupant who was killed or seriously injured without their seatbelt.

Although safety belt use rates have climbed slowly over the years, nearly 70 percent of people who die in Missouri crashes are still not wearing a safety belt. The number is even higher for teens. Of the teen vehicle occupants who died in crashes between 2005-2007, 80 percent were not wearing safety belts.
Strategies

Emergency medical Services n Develop and implement a plan to expand the awareness and use of ICE
The problem
Driver inattention is perhaps the most challenging highway traffic safety issue today. Driving a motor vehicle requires complex divided attention skills – drivers must be keenly aware of changes occurring in the environment outside the vehicle such as monitoring speed, keeping the vehicle in the appropriate lane, scanning for objects on the roadway, scrutinizing other traffic, watching for signs and markers. Drivers must also remain aware of things happening within the vehicle and possibly even to the vehicle. Unfortunately there are far too many diversions to disrupt a driver’s concentration including eating, smoking, other passengers, or activities and objects outside the vehicle. Even talking can distract the driver’s attention. Then there are the high-tech distractions such as cell phones, text messaging, internet services, navigation devices, and sophisticated entertainment centers. Any distraction – whether basic or high-tech – degrades driving performance and increases the risk for a crash. Drowsy driving is also a distraction because it impairs performance and can ultimately lead to falling asleep at the wheel. Critical aspects of driving impairment associated with drowsiness are reaction time, vigilance, attention, and information processing. It’s nearly impossible to determine with certainty the cause of a fatal crash where drowsy driving is suspected, but typically these crashes have the following characteristics: occurred during late night/early morning or mid-afternoon hours; was a single-vehicle crash; the driver was alone in the vehicle; the crash occurred on a high-speed road; the driver did not attempt to avoid the crash (lack of skid marks or evasive maneuvers); and the crash resulted in serious injuries.
*Fatal and disabling injury crashes involve at least one inattentive driver.
Strategies
Education Continue to expand public information campaigns to educate the general public on the dangers of inattentive driving n Develop and/or implement corporate programs (with emphasis on businesses with multiple shifts or whose workers are required to drive or operate machinery) n Develop and promote public and corporate policies regulating the use of cell phones and other electronic devices while driving Emergency medical Services n Develop and implement a plan to expand the awareness and use of ICE Engineering Install shoulder and centerline rumble stripes n Expand available parking in rest areas public policy / Other Enact legislation to restrict the use of hand-held cell phones while driving
Resource documents that contain additional strategies are located in Appendix D.

Three population groups have been identified at greatest risk for drowsy driving: 1. young drivers (16 to 29), especially males; 2. shift workers whose sleep is disrupted by working at night or working long or irregular hours; and 3. people with untreated sleep disorders. .com veMOlives

(Speeding; driving too fast for conditions; following too close)
The problem
Aggressive driving is recognized as driving in a selfish, pushy, or impatient manner – often unsafely – that directly affects other drivers. Aggressive drivers often commit one or more of the following hazardous moving violations: speeding, driving too fast for conditions, and following too close. The combination of these violations contributed to 45 percent of the fatalities and 40 percent of the disabling injuries in Missouri.

The problem
Despite all the attention, resources, and public policies that have been directed toward removing impaired drivers from the roads, alcohol or other drugs contribute to about a fourth of Missouri’s fatal traffic crashes annually. A common misconception is that impaired drivers usually kill or hurt only themselves, but a substantial number of people in these crashes were innocent victims; 38 percent of the fatalities and 40 percent of the disabling injuries occurred to some other party involved in the crash – not the impaired driver or pedestrian.

Crashes involving Young Drivers / 15 through 20 years old
young drivers are substantially overrepresented in traffic crashes both nationwide and in Missouri. Although comprising only 10 percent of Missouri’s licensed drivers, they are involved in over 24 percent of the fatal and disabling injury crashes. Several factors work together to make these early driving years so deadly: inexperience; risky behavior (speeding, inattention, failing to wear seat belts); and greater risk exposure (teen passengers, alcohol use). Missouri’s young drivers represent a large percentage of fatalities in several crash and high-risk driver categories: horizontal curve; run-off road; non safety belt use; speed exceeded limit; too fast for conditions; and collisions with trees and/or utility poles.

Crashes involving Older Drivers – 65 Years or Older
Older drivers are the fastest-growing segment of the population. Not only are there more older drivers, but they also drive more miles per year than previous generations and will drive at older ages. Many older adults rely heavily on their own vehicle for transportation because they have moved from urban areas and no longer have access to public transportation systems. It is critical that we, as a society, enable older drivers to retain safe driving mobility for themselves, their passengers, and other roadway users. Older drivers have low crash rates per capita. But when exposure (amount of driving) is taken into account, older drivers have higher crash rates than any other group except for teens. Although older drivers speed less frequently and do not drive as aggressively as younger drivers, they do commit other unsafe behaviors – they tend to drive slower than other traffic and are often unable to accurately judge the speed of other vehicles. There are specific physiological concerns connected with aging that have a direct correlation to driving: diminished hearing, muscle tone, reaction time, and vision (especially at night); increased fragility (the same crash force produces more serious injuries that take longer to heal); and increased medications that may affect driving. One of the most deadly types of crash, side impact, occurs more characteristically with older drivers.
Education n Educate older drivers and their family/friends about the risks associated with certain prescription drugs and physical conditions n Educate health care professionals, law enforcement, driver examiners and family members about Missouri’s laws regarding the medical review process n Educate communities and legislators on the importance of providing more extensive, convenient public transportation (OATS) for the elderly in rural areas n Educate older drivers and their family/friends about driving assessment tools (e.g. American Automobile Association Roadwise Review) Emergency medical Services n Develop and implement a plan to expand the awareness and use of ICE Engineering Expand and maintain roadway visibility features public policy / Other n Provide older drivers with self-assessment driving tools n Investigate enhanced driver’s license testing procedures n Implement a program to screen older drivers for vision problems with special emphasis on cataract screening n Expand base of partners to include healthcare professionals, law enforcement agencies, and senior advocacy groups n Establish an Older Road User Subcommittee under the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety

n
The number of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) is increasing on our nation’s roadways. Estimates indicate that 32 percent of all traffic on Missouri interstates is commercial motor vehicles. For the 3-year period identified, 0.8 percent of all Missouri traffic crashes involved a CMV. Of all fatal traffic crashes, 15 percent involved a CMV. Safety belt use among CMV drivers is 65 percent and continues to rank far below the state safety belt use rate of 77 percent.

motorcyclists
The problem
While Missouri’s overall traffic fatalities have decreased between 2005 and 2007, motorcycle fatalities have increased by 3.3 percent during the same period. Several factors, including rising fuel costs and increasing popularity, have contributed to a 10 percent increase in motorcycle registrations in 2006 over 2005. In 2006, 93 motorcyclists died in crashes - the highest number of Missouri deaths on record. Nationally, 41 percent of motorcycle operators who died in single-vehicle crashes in 2006 had BAC levels of .08 g/dL or higher. Both nationally and in Missouri, riders over age 40 are overrepresented in motorcycle fatalities.

Crashes involving School buses/School bus Signals
SPECIAL VEHICLES
The problem
School buses are nearly eight times safer than passenger vehicles. But when a crash occurs involving a school bus, it attracts a great deal of media attention. Of the 12 persons killed between 2005 to 2007 in crashes involving school buses, only two were actual occupants of a school bus, one was a pedestrian, and the remaining nine were occupants of another vehicle involved. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that most of the children killed in crashes involving school buses are in the age range of five to seven years. They are hit in the danger zone (the area within 10 feet in all directions around the bus), either by a passing vehicle or by the school bus itself. These young children are most likely to be hit because they hurry to get on or off the bus, act before they think and have little experience with traffic, assume motorists will see them and will wait for them to cross, don’t always stay within the bus driver’s sight, or drop something as they get off the bus and run into the path of the bus to pick it up. Crashes involving a school bus are often the result of other drivers driving too fast for conditions, failing to pay attention, or violating the bus stop arm.

EMPHASIS AREA IV / VulNErAblE rOADwAY uSErS
Pedestrians and bicyclists alike need to understand that they have primary responsibility for their own safety. The motoring public also has a responsibility to share the road in a safe and courteous manner with these vulnerable road users. Table 4
1. 2.
Pedestrians Bicyclists
Table 4 displays a three-year total of fatalities and disabling injuries involving vulnerable road users.
Many Missourians rely on non-motorized transportation options such as walking and bicycling. While both forms of transportation have the potential to provide physical and health benefits, they also have the potential for serious or fatal injuries if involved in a crash with a motor vehicle.
As expected, when a pedestrian or bicyclist is involved in a traffic crash, their potential for harm is much greater. In fact, 93 percent of the pedestrian-involved crashes and 81 percent of the bicycle-involved crashes result in injury or death to the following vulnerable users:
pedestrians
VULNERABLE ROADWAy USERS
The problem
Walking has experienced resurgence as an alternative mode of transportation due, in no small part, to the positive health benefits. Communities are looking at ways to develop walkable environments that are appealing to residents. Fortunately, crashes involving pedestrians do not occur in large numbers in Missouri. In the 3-year period addressed herein, they comprised less than one percent of all crashes. When a pedestrian is involved in a crash with a motor vehicle, however, the potential for harm is extremely high. When evaluating pedestrian crashes in Missouri, it is important to know how a “pedestrian” is identified. The general perception of a pedestrian is an individual who has chosen walking as their preferred mode of transportation. However, anyone who intentionally exits their vehicle and then gets hit by another vehicle would be classified as a pedestrian.
Enforcement n Encourage strict enforcement of speed limits in school zones and in areas frequented by pedestrians n Increase enforcement of the “Move Over” law Engineering Improve lighting in selected urban locations Improve pedestrian signs and road markings Enhance intersection and roadway design to be more pedestrian friendly n Reduce pedestrian risks at street crossing locations n Provide sidewalks and walkways separate from motor vehicle traffic n Improve awareness of, and visibility between, motor vehicles and pedestrians public policy / Other n Incorporate language into the Missouri Driver’s Guide to address the safest way to manage the situation when a vehicle is disabled n Continue to develop and implement the Safe Routes to School Program

Education n Implement an awareness campaign emphasizing the risks to pedestrians on high volume/speed roadways resulting from disabled vehicles, motorist assists, crossing multilanes, law enforcement stops, etc. n Increase pedestrian safety education programs in schools
The problem
Bicyclists are involved in a relatively small portion of Missouri crashes. In fact, for the 3-year period identified, only 0.4 percent of crashes involved bicycles. Of main concern, however, is that 21 percent of the bicycle fatalities were children under 15. The majority of the crashes occur during the months that are conducive to riding – April through September. It is also important to note, when developing strategies, that 83 percent of the bicyclists involved in crashes were male.

Roadway areas that require special attention are work zones and highway/rail crossings. Although the number of fatalities and disabling injuries is low in comparison to other emphasis areas, the potential for great harm in either of these settings is extremely high.

The problem
The ramifications of crashes in work zones are devastating and far-reaching. Often not only are the motorists affected, but workers are as well. Construction, maintenance, and utility workers are particularly vulnerable to many driver behavior issues (impairment, inattention, speed) due to their proximity to traffic. There was a significant decrease in motorist work zone fatalities in 2007 from 21 to 9. Additional worker training and strong public information campaigns have contributed to the reduction.

Crashes involving highway/rail Crossings
Crashes between trains and vehicles are especially violent in that you are 20 times more likely to be killed in a train/ vehicle crash than in a vehicle/vehicle crash. Another serious problem with train/vehicle crashes is that more than 50 percent of them occur at crossings that already have some sort of active warning device (lights, gates or both). Although Missouri does show somewhat consistent lowering of train/ vehicle crashes over the last decade, the fact that nearly half occur at “active” crossings remains constant.

Meeting our goal will be a challenge. Missouri has been keeping traffic crash data since 1966; never have our fatalities been recorded at 850 or less. Planning for the current situation and trying to anticipate long-term future needs demands close attention to the implementation status of this strategic highway safety plan. It is anticipated that the number of licensed drivers and the number of vehicle miles traveled will grow modestly over the next few years. With the escalating cost of gasoline, it appears consumers will purchase smaller more fuel-efficient vehicles, creating an even more diverse mix of vehicle sizes and weights on our roadways. The desire for more fuel-efficient vehicles will
also result in more motorcycles on the road. The number of drivers over 65 will increase dramatically over the next 10 years. These future trends will guide the strategies and countermeasures needed to make our roads and driving environment safer. Consideration must be given to both how we prevent crashes and how we minimize crash severity and reduce the long-term consequences of injuries. The “Targeted 10” holds great promise to move us toward achieving our goal. However, our single greatest opportunity to save lives and reduce injuries is to pass a primary safety belt law. Regardless of the size of the vehicle, the number one protection for occupants in the event of a crash is a safety belt. This one strategy is pivotal in successfully meeting the fatality reduction goal.

Access management planning Comprehensive systematic control of location, spacing, design, and operation of driveways, median openings, interchanges, and street connections to a roadway, in an effort to integrate planning and engineering practices with the transportation and land use decisions that contribute to access outcomes. Aggressive-Driver related Crash Involved a driver who committed one or more of the following violations that contributed to the cause of the crash: speeding; driving too fast for conditions; and/or following too close. CDl (Commercial Drivers License) A CDL allows an individual to legally drive a commercial motor vehicle. Channelizer Delineators Temporary traffic control device used to guide traffic or delineate an unsafe condition. CmV (Commercial Motor Vehicle) Any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds (no matter what the vehicle body type), small buses (9-15 passengers including driver), buses (16 or more passengers including driver), and any vehicle that displays a hazardous materials placard. Delineator A retroreflective device mounted on the roadway surface or at the side of the roadway in a series to indicate the alignment of the roadway, especially at night or in adverse weather. Disabling or Serious injury Such an injury is severe enough in nature that the victim must be transported to the hospital or sustains a permanent, disabling injury from the crash Dynamic Flashing beacons A flashing red or yellow light used to capture motorists’ attention and warn them about an unusual condition. A dynamic flashing beacon is only flashing when the unusual condition is present. EmS A critical component of the emergency and trauma care system that provides response and medical transport to the sick and injured. EMS is a crucial link to survival in the chain of care. Fatal Crash Identifies a motor vehicle crash where victim(s) must have died within 30 days of the crash for the crash to be coded in this manner Fatality Identifies a person who dies as the result of a traffic crash; the fatality victim(s) must have died within 30 days as a result of their injuries sustained in the crash GDl (Graduated Drivers License) Missouri's GDL law requires that all first-time drivers between 15 and 18 years old complete a period of driving with a licensed driver (instruction permit), and restricted driving (intermediate license), before being issued a full driver license. GVwr (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) The value specified by the manufacturer as the loaded weight of a single vehicle. hmV (Hazardous Moving Violation) Includes any traffic violations of a potentially hazardous nature including, but not limited to, speeding, DWI, Careless and Imprudent, stop sign/signal violation, following too closely, failure to signal

Occupant A driver and/or passenger(s) on or in a motor vehicle. Optical Speed bars A series of lines painted at decreasing intervals on the road that give drivers the illusion that the vehicle is moving faster than it really is; designed to get drivers to slow down. pbT (Preliminary Breath Test) A breath analyzer device used to estimate blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample taken prior to arrest. rumble Strips Rumble strips alert drivers by causing a vibration and rumbling sound, transmitted through the wheels into the car body. A series of rumble strips is usually either applied in the direction of travel along an edge- or centerline to alert drivers when they drift from their lane. rumble Stripes Rumble stripes are rumble strips that have pavement marking material (i.e. paint) placed over them. This increases the visibility of the pavement marking when the road is wet. Safety Edge A 30O – 35O asphalt wedge that is placed/formed along each side of the roadway. The wedge ties the existing shoulder into the roadway and allows a vehicle to reenter the roadway safely. STEp (Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs) Law enforcement officers conduct saturation enforcement in high crash locations or where large numbers of hazardous moving violations occur TACT (Ticketing Aggressive Cars & Trucks) Law enforcement officers conduct saturation enforcement in high crash locations where large numbers of hazardous moving violations occur involving commercial motor vehicles and passenger vehicles Transverse rumble Strips Transverse rumble strips are rumble strips that are applied across the direction of travel to warn drivers that they will be required to take action (stop ahead, turn ahead, etc.) VmT (Vehicle Miles Traveled) The total number of miles driven by vehicles within a given time period and geographic area; influenced by factors such as population, the number of vehicles per household, the number of vehicle trips per day and distance traveled.
