A Data-Driven Pedestrian Safety Analysis at Bus Stops in Georgia
Georgia
Using a proactive and systemic approach in collaboration with transit agencies allowed GDOT to implement a series of economically justified safe crossing projects.
GDOT incorporated visibility enhancements and friction improvements on rural curves after finding that lane departures represented a large proportion of fatalities on curves.
The nighttime fatality rate on the nation's roadways is three times higher than the daytime rate, and 76% of pedestrian fatalities occur at night. FHWA offers tools including safety countermeasures, updated and new approaches for lighting design and traffic control devices.
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.
