Executive Summary

Louisiana has set an aggressive target for reducing death and injury on the roadways –

Destination Zero Deaths. Great progress has been made since the development and 

implementation of the 2006 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and its subsequent update in 

2011. Since 2007, traffic fatalities have dropped from 993 to as low as 677 in 2011 and serious 

injuries have been reduced from 15,830 to 13,480. Even though Louisiana saw an increase in 

fatalities in 2012, we are still on track to achieve our interim target of reducing fatalities in half 

by the year 2030. 

Thorough data analysis led to identification of four emphasis areas: impaired driving, occupant 

protection, infrastructure and operations, and crashes involving young drivers. As part of the 

SHSP, The Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has been moving forward 

with safety improvements in roadway infrastructure as well as providing funds to assist our 

partners from the Highway Safety Commission with their work on unbelted fatalities and serious 

injuries. Some of Louisiana’s accomplishments include: roadway departure and intersection 

improvements, a focused approach working with Louisiana State Police (LSP) to use crash data 

to identify locations for DWI enforcement and increase seatbelt checkpoints, initiatives with 

Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) to increase overtime enforcement for occupant 

protection, and No Refusal Weekends Programs.

The Louisiana two-tiered approach to lowering fatalities and serious injuries is accomplished in 

part by developing and continually implementing the federally required SHSP. To implement 

the SHSP, LADOTD and its safety partners are also assisting five regional safety coalitions in 

the southern portion of the state in developing regional safety action plans (New Orleans, 

Northshore, Houma, Lafayette/Acadiana regions and Baton Rouge.) During the plan 

development process, the regional safety coalitions meet to assess the contributing crash factors 

on the state and local roads in the region, select emphasis areas, and identify strategies and action 

steps to mitigate these issues.

The benefits of this regional approach to safety planning include:

• The strategies and actions in the SHSP are being implemented at the regional level. 

Broader implementation ensures better opportunities to reduce fatalities and serious 

injuries.

• DOTD is in a better position to understand and potentially fund regional safety 

priorities.

• The regional teams have new opportunities to receive funding for the critical safety 

needs in a region.

• The regional teams have better access to and a better understanding of crash data. They 

also are better connected to safety stakeholders and partnerships.

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.

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

The Local Road Safety Program (LRSP) is allocated approximately $3-5 million per year. Eligible 

projects include those for roadways and transportation systems owned and operated by parish 

and municipal road agencies. Specific funds are available for selected local safety data-driven 

projects and additional funding sources or resources may be available depending on the type of 

project. The Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) administers the LRSP in cooperation 

with the LADOTD. LTAP coordinates activities and resources in conjunction with the LADOTD to

Briefly describe coordination with internal partners. 

LADOTD Highway Safety Improvement Projects are selected for implementation through a data 

driven competitive process. LADOTD utilizes a Stage 0 planning process for identifying potential 

highway safety improvement projects. Stage 0 determines the feasibility of a project along with 

the scope and budget. The Stage 0 for proposed safety projects for inclusion in the HSIP is 

prepared by the LADOTD District Office, Road Design Section, Highway Safety Section, 

Consultant, MPO or the Transportation Planning Section. The Stage 0 report is reviewed for 

completeness and approved by the Highway Safety Section before being submitted to the 

Project selection Team for inclusion in the Department's Highway Program.

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

would like to elaborate.

Projects that are identified through the HSIP have the overall goal of reducing the number and 

severity of crashes and decreasing the potential for crashes on all public roads.

The LADOTD performs HSIP components of planning, implementation, and evaluation to 

accomplish requirements of the program. These components involve the following: datadriven identification of crash locations, development and implementation of an annual program 

of projects and report annually to the FHWA on progress and effectiveness. FHWA is involved 

in all three components, both formally and through informal technical assistance.

Until 2008, LADOTD only had the capability of locating crashes on the state owned road 

system. Starting in 2008, LADOTD began putting latitude and longitude on all public roads 

including the local road system. In the past, the location data shown on local agency crash 

reports was often vague or not consistent. This meant LADOTD had minimal crash location 
2013 Louisiana Highway Safety Improvement Program

14

information on local roads. As a result of assigning Global Positioning System (GPS) 

coordinates, a substantial percentage of crashes on local roads can now be mapped and the 

local agencies can identify where the highest numbers of crashes are occurring on their local 

and parish roadways. The state owned system is approximately 30% of the total road mileage, 

but accounts for nearly 70% of the crashes.

Location specific HSIP projects are developed from analyzing the LADOTD Crash database which 

contains all reported crashes, the highway inventory file, and the traffic count file to develop a 

list of locations requiring further study. The LADOTD uses the number-rate method to identify 

locations requiring further study. The number-rate method considers both the frequency and 

crash rate. To qualify for further study, a location must have a minimum of five crashes in a 

calendar year and twice the average for that class of roadway. Roadways are classified by 

characteristics (e.g., two-lane, four-lane divided and freeway) and location. The identified 

locations are included on a list of locations requiring further study. Each LADOTD District is 

requested to conduct a safety engineering evaluation for least the top three crash locations 

identified in each roadway classification. Proposed safety improvements are recommended by 

each of the nine LADOTD District Traffic Operations Engineers after conducting studies of the 

candidate locations. These projects compete for the funds allocated to the Highway Safety 

Improvement Program. Approximately $45 to $50 million dollars are reserved annually for the 

Highway Safety Improvement Program. Approximately 10% of the funds are being used to 

implement system-wide improvements such as Intersections and Roadway Departure Safety 

Action Plans, 25% to the Local Road Safety Program and the remaining 65% is distributed 

throughout the state through the Stage 0 process.

The final list of safety projects is approved by a team consisting of LADOTD headquarters 

personnel, a representative from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC), Federal 

Highway Administration and a State Police representative. The project selection team receives 

output from the Louisiana Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and also reviews 

recommendations contained in the long-range transportation plans for the nine metropolitan 

areas and for the state as well as any recommendations from elected officials and their 

constituents, LADOTD Districts, and other state and federal agencies. After consulting with the 

LADOTD District Administrators, the project selection team will have the ultimate responsibility 

of determining how much of the available funding will be allocated to statewide, regional, 

system-wide, and corridor projects including soft-side programs, and how much will be 

reserved for spot location safety improvements projects. A final list of projects will then be 

forwarded to the LADOTD Transportation Planning Section for inclusion in the State 

Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The project selection process was last updated in 

December 2006.

Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Improvements (Program 

Evaluation)

What indicators of success can you use to demonstrate effectiveness and success in the Highway 

Safety Improvement Program?

None

Benefit/cost

Policy change

Other: Other-Even though we experienced an increase in fatalities in 2012, the overall decline 

remains below our target of reducing fatalities in half by the year 2030.
2013 Louisiana Highway Safety Improvement Program

70

What significant programmatic changes have occurred since the last reporting period? 

Shift Focus to Fatalities and Serious Injuries

Include Local Roads in Highway Safety Improvement Program

Organizational Changes

None

Other: Other-LADOTD is in the process of developing state specific SPFs as well as collaborating the 

HSM SPFs

Other: Other-Systemic approach
2013 Louisiana Highway Safety Improvement Program

71

Briefly describe significant program changes that have occurred since the last reporting period. 

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) has initiated a 

systemic approach based on risk factors and specific crash types. This is one of the strategies 

that can be found in the Louisiana Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). While the LADOTD 

continues to conduct analyses based on crash history we recognize the importance in 

implementing countermeasures across the entire system to address specific crash types. Some 

of systemic countermeasures implemented are using the safety edge on all preservation 

projects, centerline rumble strips on all two-lane rural high speed roadways meeting certain 

criteria, and the installation of cable median barrier on the interstate system. Louisiana will 

expand the use of the systemic approach and is currently developing systemic countermeasures 

to address roadway departure crashes in curves.
