Samenvatting
In 2007, the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and its safety partners defined the State's "Road Map to Safety" in its formal Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The goal was to reduce fatalities on South Carolina's roadways to fewer than 784 by 2010, a 25 percent decrease from 2004. A secondary goal was to lower the number of traffic-related injuries by 3 percent. The SHSP identified 5 key Emphasis Areas and 24 specific targets to be addressed based on an extensive analysis of traffic crash data. Intersections were identified as one of nine target areas within the Serious Crash Type Emphasis Area. (Author/publisher)
