Toward zero deaths : a national strategy on highway safety. White paper No. 6: Safer infrastructure.

The highway infrastructure is rarely cited as the sole contributing factor in crashes, yet it enables travel. The interaction between the driver and infrastructure collectively contribute to a significant proportion of fatal traffic crashes, thus a safer infrastructure is undoubtedly an important component of the Toward Zero Deaths goal. In this paper, infrastructure experts from The Thomas D. Larson Pennsylvania Transportation Institute - Dr. Paul Jovanis and Dr. Eric Donnell - propose a set of long-term strategies to provide a safer infrastructure. (Author/publisher)
