Executive Summary

This Fiscal Year (FY) 2012-13 annual report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 

describes the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)’s strategic use of MAP-21 funding 

of the Commonwealth’s Highway Safety Improvement Programs (HSIP) for the period July 2012 

to June 2013. 

MAP-21 continued the HSIP as a core formula driven program under Sections 148 and 130 of US 

Code Title 23 and increased the HSIP allocations in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2013 and 14.

Further, under Section 154, Virginia is penalized for existing Open Container legislation, so 

surface transportation program and national highway performance program funds are 

transferred to be used for HSIP eligible projects. As a result, VDOT’s HSIP is composed of the 

following sub-programs utilizing the abovementioned federal funding sources (23 USC 

Sections):

• Highway Safety Projects (HSP): Section 148,

• Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Projects(BPSP): Section 148

• Penalty Transfer-Open Container (OC) Projects: Section 154

A separate report is prepared for the Railway-Highway Grade Crossing (Section 130) program. 

A link to the HSIP guidelines, safety project submission documentation, and resource 

information is provided on-line at http://www.virginiadot.org/business/ted_app_pro.asp

Strategic Highway Safety Plan

During the past year VDOT completed a multi-agency and disciplinary, engineering, education, 

enforcement, and emergency response (4-E) update of the Commonwealth’s Strategic Highway 

Safety Plan (SHSP). Virginia’s updated SHSP through 2016 was approved by FHWA’s Virginia 

Division during the winter of 2013. The SHSP has been used to drive investment decisions to 

improve safety and reduce deaths and injuries for this FY 2013 reporting period.

Many safety partners are working towards reducing the number and severity of vehicle crashes 

on the Commonwealth’s highways. Virginia’s HSIP is structured to focus on infrastructure

safety emphasis areas that may be improved with low cost and minimal environmental impact 

(no right of way) engineering countermeasures, namely: 

• Intersection geometry and traffic control 

• Roadway and roadside improvements

• Bicycle and pedestrian risk reductions

Highway Safety Funding

HSIP funding through MAP-21 for Virginia’s fiscal years FY12 – 14 is as follows:

 FY 2012-13 (Million)* FY 13-14 (Million)*

Highway Safety $39.14 $59.73

Bike and Pedestrian Safety $4.35 $5.40

Open Container $11.23

*Funding amount includes HSIP and Penalty Transfer federal dollars (apportionments for FY14 OC are pending)

New FY 2014 Projects

The Commonwealth of Virginia is committed to developing and maintaining a safe, multimodal 

transportation system. For the development of Virginia’s transportation FY 2014 Six-Year 

Improvement Program (SYIP), the HSIP project selection structure and approach was modified 

to follow the updated SHSP and the MAP-21 allowances. HSIP staff conducted outreach to each 

VDOT district to explain the SHSP and the three percent reduction target for their district. Each 

district also received data for each of the SHSP emphasis areas, crash maps for each 

jurisdiction, detailed information on MAP-21 HSIP requirements, and instructions on how to 

prepare safety project proposals. HSIP spending targets were developed for each district 

based on the combined proportions of lane-miles, vehicle miles travelled and deaths plus

severe injuries to consider multiple year project development. Districts were requested to 

consider systemic, corridor and intersection improvements for all users on priority routes and 

intersections identified in the crash data. Candidate projects that were submitted included high 

crash locations, long roadway segments, and systemic highway and pedestrian risk locations. 

In total, 38 new highway safety projects were approved and programmed, valued at 

approximately $62.4M. Existing highway safety projects received an additional $80.9M of HSIP 

funds through the SYIP period. FY 2013 Penalty Transfer/Open Container allocations were also 

programmed on two interstate ATMS and safety projects that will be authorized within FFY 

2013 (by September 2013). In summary, during the state's FY2013 reporting period, VDOT 

obligated $88.1M on 149 HSIP projects.

Highway Safety Performance

This report provides safety performance measures for deaths and severe injuries and the 

associated rates per 100 million vehicle miles travelled (HMVMT). Since 2001, injury crashes 

have declined to about 45 thousand per year (almost a 20 percent reduction from the 1990’s). 

Severe injuries have decreased by approximately 50 percent. Injuries per capita have also 

continued to decline for the last 20 years. 

Traffic deaths per population in Virginia remained fairly stable for about 15 years after the 

declines that were seen in the early 1990’s. However, 2007 saw a peak in fatal crashes resulting 

in 1,026 deaths, the first time deaths exceeded 1,000 since the early 1990’s. Since 2007, a 25 

percent reduction has been experienced, although traffic deaths increased slightly in 2011 and 

2012 from a low in 2010. To date, 2013 traffic deaths are about 60 lower than in 2012.

The decreases in severe traffic crashes indicates the effectiveness of improved driver 

regulations, safer cars, education, enforcement, emergency services, and engineering solutions 

in reducing related injuries. For VDOT’s HSIP projects that were completed in 2009, we have 

experienced 62 and 67% reductions in the targeted total and severe injury crashes, 

respectively.

This report documents the following elements of the federally funded HSIP using the FHWA 

MAP-21 (2013) reporting guidance:

1. program administration and methodology

2. progress in administrating safety projects 

3. evaluation of effectiveness of completed projects

Question 2
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

Introduction

The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid program 

with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in fatalities and serious 

injuries on all public roads. As per 23 U.S.C. 148(h) and 23 CFR 924.15, States are 

required to report annually on the progress being made to advance HSIP 

implementation and evaluation efforts. The format of this report is consistent 

with the HSIP MAP-21 Reporting Guidance dated February 13, 2013 and consists 

of four sections: program structure, progress in implementing HSIP projects, 

progress in achieving safety performance targets, and assessment of the 

effectiveness of the improvements.

Question 3 

MAP-21 continues the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core formula driven 

program [23 CFR, Part 924]. MAP-21 increases safety funding by almost 50 percent. Section 

924.5 states, “Each State shall develop, implement, and evaluate on an annual basis a HSIP that 

has the overall objective of significantly reducing the occurrence of and the potential for 

fatalities and serious injuries resulting from crashes on all public roads”
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

6

Section 924.7 further requires that the Highway Safety Improvement Program shall include 

three components: planning, implementation and evaluation. These components shall be 

comprised of processes developed by the States and approved by the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA). The following sections report on progress for three safety initiatives 

from VDOT’s administration of HSIP:

• Highway Safety Projects (HSP) under 23 USC Section 148, 

• Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety (BPS) Projects under 23 USC Section 148 

• Open Container Penalty Transfer (OC) projects under 23 USC Section 154

Since the 1990’s, when VDOT developed guidelines and procedures for a Hazard Elimination 

Safety program, safety improvements have been identified based on crash statistics and then 

qualified and prioritized based on an economic assessment of the proposed treatments.

Virginia has met the Section 148 requirements to include transportation safety planning, 

economic assessment of proposed improvements and evaluation of completed projects. This 

section describes how the Highway Safety Projects (HSP) are presently developed to improve 

highway intersections and segments where a high incidence of vehicle crashes occur, 

particularly those that are severe.

Describe how local roads are addressed as part of Highway Safety Improvement Program.

For FY 2014 project scoping, VDOT addressed local roads by funding the first priority existing 

projects (number 1 above). Virginia’s previously programmed SAFETEA-LU and prior HSIP on local 

roads. In recent years local roads received a disproportionate share of the available funding. 

However, many of these local administered projects had not obligated the major construction 

phase portion of the funds. Some local projects needed more funds due to increased scope and/or 

impacts. As such, local agency projects were provided additional previous year and FY2014 HSIP 

allocations needed to fund the cost estimates for construction (thus obligation). New procedures 

and requirements for locally administered HSIP projects are being developed for management 

consideration for future years.

Question 5

Briefly describe coordination with internal partners. 

To facilitate and expedite the scoping of HSIP projects, each District was visited to describe the 

MAP-21 requirements, the updated SHSP Emphasis Areas, related safety data available, and the 

multi-disciplinary team needed to provide sound scope, cost, and schedule information. Traffic, 

planning, design and programming and sometimes VDOT Residency (county) liaison staff attended 

the briefings, so that appropriate teams could be developed and that local agency and MPO staff 

could be informed of the approach for developing FY2014 HSIP projects. The SHSP three percent 

reduction targets by Emphasis Areas were also presented. Finally, the briefing provided 

information on Systemic Treatment eligibility in MAP-21 and related information available from 

the FHWA in December 2012. 

As in the past, that target of allocating ten percent to bike and pedestrian safety projects was 

presented. That is, at least ninety percent of HSIP Section 148 of the previously unallocated future 

funds would be programmed on highway safety projects. 

District staff submitted proposed safety project funding requests with the following set of 

priorities for managing the target annual HSIP obligation from FY2014 to 19:

1. Additional funding needs to complete existing HSIP projects or those ongoing projects 

with a specific safety benefit needing additional funds.

2. New safety projects that could be designed and advertised within FY2014

3. New safety projects that could be potentially started in FY2014 but would need 

additional time and funding to be designed and awarded for construction in future 

years.

VDOT centrally prioritizes and programs highway safety improvement projects on all public roads.

As a change from previous years, target spending for Virginia’s FY 2014-19 Six-Year Improvement 

Program (SYIP) in each of the nine VDOT construction districts was developed based on three 

measures: percent of Deaths and Severe Injuries (three year average), percent VMT, and percent

lane-miles. Project proposals were submitted by VDOT district staff for funding by development 

phase for the future years of the SYIP with particular attention to scope projects that could be 

delivered in FY2014 to obligate the full additional MAP-21 allocations. The HSIP funds are presently 

a line item in the State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) by district-wide.

Describe any other aspects of Highway Safety Improvement Program Administration on which you 

would like to elaborate.

VDOT is in the process of rewriting it's HSIP Guidelines and Policy. The state anticipates having 

these new guidelines in place before the next reporting period.The focus of the new HSIP 

guidance will be on the implementation and delivery of systemic safety improvement projects.

About two percent of Virginia’s motor vehicle crashes involved a pedestrian or bicyclist in 

recent years. About 2500 bike and pedestrian related traffic crashes are reported each year. 

However, crashes with these non-motorized travelers account for about 10 percent of the 

deaths and five percent of the injury related crashes. Using the traditional HSIP Benefit-Cost 
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

19

crash reduction based procedures, bike and pedestrian safety improvements are typically not 

prioritized and programmed due to the lack of multiple crashes at a specific location. Further, 

the effectiveness (crash reduction) of related countermeasures for individual locations are not 

commonly known. Realizing that a high potential for risk exists for non-motorized travelers and 

that some people may not bike or walk because of safety concerns, VDOT began to target 10 

percent of HSIP funds in FY04 for the non-motorized infrastructure safety program. The 

complete BPS program guidelines are provided as part of the HSIP materials on-line at 

www.VirginiaDOT.org. VDOT is proud to be one of the few agencies with a non-motorized 

safety program that improves conditions for vulnerable users, especially around schools. The 

VDOT program preceded the Safe Routes to School program.

BPS project proposals were requested for FY2014-19 SYIP during outreach to the VDOT 

Districts. BPS project assessment and documentation of four elements regarding the proposal 

are submitted: (1) Identify the problem (30 points); (2) Identify the solution (45 points); (3) 

project cost (15 points); and (4) Local Support for the project (10 points). Based on the 

information provided, each proposal is subjectively scored on a series of questions with 

potential values (shown in parathesis above) totaling 100 points. The proposals with scores 

greater than 50 points are considered candidates for funding. Typically, in the past between 40 

and 60 project proposals valued between $10 and $15 million are submitted each year.

However, fewer larger projects were submitted for FY2014 given the recent record of project 

delivery schedules. Five projects totaling $5.4M in allocations were programmed with $700,000 

in FY2014 and the remainder in Fy2015-16 to allow time for design phase completion.

Note the Bike and Pedestrianprogram question response for this sub-program question do not

Describe any other aspects of the Highway Safety Improvement Program methodology on which you 

would like to elaborate. 

VDOT has used the same program methodology since SAFETEA-LU with some modifications for 

FY2014 based on the recently approved 2012-16 Virginia Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP).

About 85 percent of the roadway centerline miles are maintained by VDOT on three systems: 

interstate, primary, and secondary (county) roadways except for secondary roads in Arlington and 

Henrico Counties. Statewide transportation safety planning on VDOT maintained systems is 

performed centrally by HSIP staff in the Traffic Engineering Division each year.

Listings and maps of high crash routes and intersections following the SHSP Emphasis Areas were 

provided to VDOT district staff to identify candidate locations for project development. On the 

VDOT systems the following safety planning data is available: 

• Intersections ranked by Deaths (type K) plus Severe Injuries (type A) in the most recent 3 

years within each jurisdiction. Those locations in the top 5 percent are first priority.

Those between the top 5 and 15 percent are second priority and the remainders are 

lower priority.

• For Roadway Departure emphasis, each route (ID) segment within a jurisdiction was 

ranked by the number of K plus A severe injury plus visible injuries (type B) for the most 

recent 5 years. The first priority route segments are those with at least one percent of 

the jurisdictions KAB injuries. The second priority is routes with less than one percent 

but more than two KAB injuries per year (10 in five years).

• For Speed and Bicycle and Pedestrian crash the same route ranking and priority 

thresholds were used but only for K+A injuries. 

At present VDOT’s Roadway Network System (RNS) does not support network screening methods 

such as the previously generated (critical) rate quality control methods used. Rather than recreate 

previous critical crash rate methods, VDOT has developed Safety Performance Functions (SPF) 

following the Highway Safety Manual and SafetyAnalyst (SA) methodologies. The final multi-lane 

site subtypes SPFs were completed in the spring of 2013. However, the RNS roadway and 

intersection inventory model has proven to be difficult to transform into the SafetyAnalyst model 

to perform the safety management and HSIP process methods. HSIP staff is presently working to 

use the SPFs directly with the RNS data to perform network screening for future years.

Except for the interstate system within urban locally maintained roadway jurisdictions, VDOT’s 

inventory does not presently permit crash records to be located on a Liner Referencing System 

(LRS) or GIS measured shape file. Therefore, systematic urban safety planning of the SHSP 

emphasis areas by HSIP staff is not possible on the independent cities and two Counties of 
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

22

Arlington and Henrico. Urban jurisdictions typically study their own crash records and submit 

proposals for intersection treatments Work has started to review the GPS (lat/long) locations 

provided for each crash to determine if interim geospatial methods are feasible while the urban 

system LRS is developed.

To aid the safety planning and project development, VDOT’s HSIP recommends conducting crash 

analysis and Roadway Safety Assessments (RSA) or a documented safety engineering study at 

identified high crash locations and corridors. RSA guidelines were developed and posted on 

VDOT’s HSIP web page with outreach and training of VDOT, locality, and MPO engineering and 

planning staff. In addition to crash analysis tools, VDOT staff has access to roadway traffic volume, 

cross-section and pavement condition inventory in the RNS to support the RSA process and HSIP 

benefit-cost analysis. Further, a new crash analysis screening method and Engineering Safety 

Review (RSA) process were developed for reviewing 1 to 3R projects that are federally funded. 

Hundreds of RSA studies have been conducted to develop and submit project proposals and 

economic analyses described in the following section. In the past, some urban jurisdictions have 

used HSIP funds to identify high crash locations, prioritize for study and conduct RSAs to propose 

projects for funding.

VDOT has updated the safety project economic evaluation methodology to its present form in 

2006. Refinements have occurred since SAFETEA-LU in the emphasis areas identified in Virginia's 

Strategic Highway Safety Plan; in transportation safety planning methods; and in the economic 

benefit values used in the benefit -cost economic analysis used to evaluate proposed projects. All 

guidelines, project submittal forms, and benefit-cost spreadsheets (including crash modification 

factors) are provided on the VDOT HSIP web page. Eligible highway safety project proposals 

must meet the following requirements:

(1) Proposed improvements are at locations identified through analysis of crashes.

(2) Projects must be relevant to the program purpose of reducing crashes and/or their 

consequences using HSIP eligible treatments. The treatments should implement and target the 

emphasis area strategies in Virginia’s 2012-16 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP).

(3) Improvement project studies that evaluate potential engineering countermeasures 

(physical changes to the travel way improvements and/or use of traffic control devices) require 

a PE seal after July 1, 2010.

(4) All projects with known crash modification factors (CMF) must have an economic analysis 

to show the proposed safety benefits exceed the project cost (Benefit/Cost > 1). If CMF’s are 

unknown for a treatment then the estimated factor or expected risk reductions should be 
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

23

documented.

(5) All projects should upgrade non-standard safety features to existing standards, when those 

features are within the scope (that is, the treatment addresses targeted crashes) and work area 

of the project proposal study.

(6) Project effectiveness is evaluated with a before/after crash analysis three years after 

completion.

VDOT’s HSIP has promoted and programmed systemic safety treatments for several years. 

Projects such as high friction surfacing, rumble strips, guard rail, enhanced markings and signing, 

signal timing, signal head and battery backup upgrades are several types of systemic treatments 

recently implemented. When appropriate CMF information is available the B/C analysis is 

requested. However, system wide assessment of roadway inventory and associated crashes has 

not been performed to define low unit cost systemic treatments. VDOT has initiated, with FHWA’s 

contractor, an assessment of Roadway Departure related inventory elements and crashes to 

determine potential systemic improvements. Further, an assessment of Virginia’s Corridors of 

Statewide Significance (most of NHS) for potential signing and marking upgrades to meet 2009 

MUTCD compliance and additional safety improvements that may be HSIP funded. Until these 

efforts are further developed and finalized, HSIP eligible systemic treatment projects, like those 

previously funded will be reviewed for merit. 

Identified locations were assessed by VDOT district staff to conduct RSAs/engineering studies and 

then analyzed to propose safety improvements based on expected benefit-cost (B/C) ratio. The 

economic evaluation procedure compiles crashes by type and severity (KABCO scale), and applies a 

crash modification factor (CMF) to determine the annualized benefits from reductions expected 

for the total project cost. Engineering studies submitted each year are reviewed and evaluated by 

central office HSIP staff. Modifications are negotiated on the project scope and cost estimates.

The improvement projects with the greatest return on the dollar that target the most crashes in 

each District are approved based on the targeted Highway Safety funds. Projects that are 

prioritized by HSIP staff are then programmed by District staff in the VDOT Six-Year Improvement 

Program (SYIP) for final Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) approval (typically in June of 

each year, but can be added at any monthly meeting). District staff delivers the projects by 

functional area depending on the type of project. HSIP staff work with the districts to refine the 

project scopes and funding during the design and construction process. District Local Assistance 

project coordinators oversee locally administered project design and construction.

Penalty Transfer funding in the past has been allocated based on Virginia’s Open Container 

(OC), 0.08 BAC Safety Incentive (SI), and Repeat Offender (RO) laws under Title 23 of the United 

States Code Sections 154,163, and 164, respectively. Virginia is presently only in noncompliance with required Open Container (OC) laws and received about $11.2M for FFY 2013 

HSIP eligible projects, based on the split and proportions provided to FHWA for MAP-21 

transfers.

During the reporting period available previous and FFY2013 OC funding was programmed on 

two projects I-64 ($2.7M from FY13) and I-77($8.5M from FY13) ATMS and additional traffic 

control and safety asset corridor improvements that have been under development by VDOT 

for over a year (Table 2). The I-77 project corridor was the site of a 50 plus vehicle crash that 

resulted in multiple deaths and severe injuries. The I-64 project also received about $2.8M of 

previous years’ OC funds. An additional $2.89 of previous (SAFETEA-LU) allocations were 

programmed on a phase of the Virginia Capitals Trail (multi-use path) near Richmond. FY14 

Open Container funds have not been allocated and programmed (zero entered in table).

How much funding is programmed to local (non-state owned and maintained) safety projects? 

$0.00

How much funding is obligated to local safety projects?

$16,735,173.00

The response to the zero amount of HSIP programmed on local (urban) roads is for available 

FY14 funds. VDOT provided additional previous fiscal year funds to existing local projects with 

increased costs due to impacts and for additional scope requested by the jurisdictions. A 
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

summary of the transfers into multiple projects was not readily assessable for this report, but 

the amount added to existing local projects during FY13 was probabaly between $2-3 million.

Discuss impediments to obligating Highway Safety Improvement Program funds and plans to 

overcome this in the future.

In the past many smaller value HSIP projects have not been high priority for Districts to deliver. 

With the focus on federal strategy obligation and programming fewer, larger projects VDOT has 

been able to greatly improve the annual obligations since MAP-21. Local jurisdiction 

administered HSIP projects have had difficulties managing the federal-aid process and 
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

27

requirements which has slowed delivery and thus obligation of the larger right of way, utility 

and construction phases. Focus on project delivery rather than proposals, with District local 

liasions assigned responsibility for marshalling projects has greatly improved the process and 

resulted in projects moving forward to construction.

Describe any other aspects of the general Highway Safety Improvement Program implementation 

progress on which you would like to elaborate.

None at this time. VDOT will be introducing new HSIP Guidelines and Policy for the next 

reporting period.

2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

103

Describe any other aspects of the general highway safety trends on which you would like to elaborate.

The numbers of highway crashes resulting deaths and injuries, have been declining in Virginia 

for the last decade. With increasing vehicle miles traveled each year, the crash rates in Virginia 

have also reduced. Virginia’s first SHSP 2006-10 goals of 100 fewer deaths and 10 percent 

reduction in injuries were reached by 2008, although deaths peaked in 2007. Similarly, as 

Virginia’s 2012-16 SHSP was being developed, traffic deaths increased slightly in 2011 and 2012 

as severe injuries continued to decline substantially. While there have been slight increases in 

traffic deaths over the 2010 low, Virginia has continued to reduce severe injuries; a true 

measure of the success of a safety program giving the greater numbers of these type of 

crashes. The five year average trends shown below indicate Virginia has experienced a 40 

percent decline in severe injuries and in severe injury rates over the past five years. Deaths and 

death rates are down 18 percent between 2008 and 2012. Safety performance has also 

improved since the 2010 base year for the SHSP. To date in 2013, traffic deaths are about 60 

fewer than in 2012.

Part of this trend has been due to progress in the 4-E strategies in Virginia’s SHSP, while other 

influences of improved vehicle safety, the economy and related societal trends, etc. have also 

had a major influence. For HSIP administration, the change in analysis focus to find clusters of 

severe injuries from crashes has influenced target project development for engineering and 

planning staff in Virginia. Successfully engraining the concepts of RSAs with both VDOT and 

local staff has led to more targeted projects. Further, the RSA concept has been carried over to 

the review of scheduled paving projects to seek additional low cost safety treatments.

Under a MAP-21 “Special Rules” sub-section, the SHSP is to consider older drivers and 

pedestrians if traffic fatalities and serious injuries per capita for drivers and pedestrians over the 

age of 65 increases during the most recent 2-year period. There has been a downward trend in 

death and severe injury outcomes over the last decade. The reduction trend is consistent for 

counts and rate per capita (100,000 population) with annual reductions ranging from about one 

percent to 18 percent.

All vehicle crashes involving at least one driver or pedestrian older than 65 was tabulated for 

each year and divided by the annual population values (provided by DMV GHSO).
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

105

Does the older driver special rule apply to your state? 

No

Following the MAP-21 requirement to assess the most recent two year period, the rate of per 

capita has declined for several years. This downward trend in deaths and severe injuries is 

expected to continue. As such, the older users do not have targeted strategies, but crash data will 

be monitored through the SHSP period to determine if emphasis is warranted.

Each District is presently reporting the year to date trends compared to previous years for 

traffic deaths and injuries bi-monthly to VDOT management. With these performance 

measures significant safety improvements and interaction with first responders to find and 

mitigate safety issues identified are also reported. This emphasis on District responsibility for 

perfromance goals has led to initiating a project to develop safety actions for each area by June 

of 2014.

Virginia’s FY 2014 HSIP was structured to focus on the 2012-16 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) infrastructure emphasis areas.

The new plan keeps the infrastructure emphasis on speed, roadway departure and intersections while incorporating bike/pedestrian 

safety into those areas and the human factor (driver behavior) areas. The goal of our SHSP is to cut the number of deaths and severe 

injuries in half in the next 20 years. This equates to about a 3.2 percent reduction per year which would save over 100 lives and 

prevent over 1700 severe injuries by 2016. Traffic deaths rose slightly for two years from a 20 year low in 2010 but deaths are about 

60 fewer than last year to date in 2013. Recent year injury trends have exceeded these rates of decline.
2013 Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program

114

The crash data shows 2004 to 2012 safety performance for two SHSP areas with infrastructure improvements. During the summer of 

2013, VDOT changed the method used to define intersection, and thus roadway departure crashes, based on an improved roadway 

network system (RNS) inventory and located crashes. The result is a change from the values used for the SHSP development.

Annual roadway departure (RD) crash outcomes, shows related deaths declining for three years (2010-2012) a total of 3.2 percent.

Five year averages deaths and deaths rates are also decreasing. Severe RD injuries continued to decline more rapidly continuing the 

trend from the last decade with a 12.6 percent reduction in the last three years. Additional shoulder widening along with systematic 

signing, marking, shoulder, rumble strip and guardrail projects are presently being deployed on higher volume and speed roadways. 

This should help continue the downward trend of severe RD crashes.

Intersection safety has been a major emphasis area for Virginia’s HSIP projects. The result was declining severe crash outcomes on 

VDOT maintained roadways for the last decade due to many operational projects updating signal systems, timing and coordination. 

However, based on VDOT’s new approach to define arterial intersections and related crashes, the traffic deaths are showing a 23 

percent three year increase since the 2010 low value. Yet, severe intersection related injuries continue to reduce each year with a 

15.3 percent reduction in the last three years.. Safety projects are programmed on VDOT systems to updated signal equipment, and 

provide turn lanes and pedestrian accommodations which should mitigate the more severe crashes in the future. Previous year 

outreach to cities to program turn lanes, signal upgrades and roundabouts retrofits should provide additional crash reduction 

benefits in the years to come, although we do not have intersection location data to define non-VDOT trends at this time.

Based on data supplied by DMV for the SHSP development, speeding related deaths increased until 2007 and since have declined to 

pre-2000 values following the total Virginia trends. From data now available in RNS, speed related deaths have increased since 

2010. Severe injuries resulting from speeding related crashes has declined since 2003 based on DMV values and RNS values 

recording a 13 Percent drop since 2010. With renewed engineering, education and enforcement strategies our vision is to continue 

to address these severe speeding related crashes and maintain a downward trend.

VDOT conducts a before and after crash evaluation of each completed highway safety project. The crash analysis period for these 

projects typically covers the 36 months prior to submission for funding and the same period after the completion year of the safety 

improvement. Completed projects in 2009 were evaluated for this reporting period. The table below provides the project purpose 

crashes (related and targeted type) recorded for the before and after evaluation periods for both intersection locations as well as 

highway sections. 

While some of the pre-SAFETEA-LU selected project locations did not have a large number of related crashes, the results may have 

been disappointing given the random nature of crashes rather than the than the effect of the safety project. However, all projects 

grouped together showed significant reduction of both total crashes and related crashes than are typically expected crash 

reductions (CMF). Total crashes deceased about 55 percent for all 15 projects. Targeted crashes decreased 62 percent for all crashes 

and 67 percent for injury and fatal crashes. The reductions of related crashes are typically higher than the reduction of total crashes, 

suggesting that the implemented safety countermeasures are highly effective.
