National Complete Streets Assessment
FHWA
In 2023, FHWA published results of a survey to establish a baseline of Complete Streets and active transportation, finding trends and notable projects in each of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
With 40% of fatalities and serious injuries occurring at low-volume, unsignalized intersections, DelDOT implemented All-Way Stop Control. After three years, there were zero fatalities and 82% fewer injury crashes at the intersections evaluated.
CTDOT uses several strategies to combat wrong-way driving, including behavioral countermeasures, a public awareness campaign, traffic signals, signs, pavement markings, and delineators.
When fatal crash toxicology data showed an increase of cannabis by drivers, CTDOT worked with CTHSO, GHSA, and other partners to raise awareness of the dangers of driving impaired.
ARDOT evaluated mumble strips as a variation of rumble strips that reduce noise pollution while maintaining driver safety. They found comparable safety effectiveness with less environmental impact.
UDOT is addressing safety and mobility at traffic signals for all road users, including snow buildup in traffic signal LEDs, wrong-way driving countermeasures, and accessible pedestrian signals. Automated performance measures allow for full situational awareness, even for vulnerable road users.
