Executive Summary

In 2008, over 1500 people died on roadways in the SCAG region and just under 125,000 

were injured. While both fatalities and injuries have declined over the past 10 years, the 

impacts, both emotional and financial, are still far too high. The average costs for each 

traffic death, traffic injury, or property damage crash were (in 2005):

Death – $1,150,000

Nonfatal Disabling Injury – $52,900

Property Damage, including non-disabling injuries – $7,500

In 2006, the State of California initiated the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), as 

a way of setting targets and strategies to reduce transportation fatalities in the State 

in absolute numbers by 2010 in 16 challenge areas (impaired driving, street crossing, 

bicycling, older drivers, etc). While the targets in most challenge areas were met by 

2010, a new goal is to reduce fatalities even further. The SHSP Steering Committee is 

establishing new targets, which will be finalized in 2012, including a 17th Challenge Area, 

Distracted Driving.

While the California SHSP sets 152 various actions that State agencies can perform to 

reduce fatalities, there are complementary strategies that can be performed by local 

governments that can help further reduce transportation fatalities.

The safety of people and goods as they travel is one of the key characteristics of any 

transportation system. The importance of providing a safe and secure transportation 

system is emphasized by transportation and law enforcement agencies at all levels, and 

is recognized as one of the chief responsibilities of transportation planners.

SCAG’s safety goal is to ensure transportation safety, security, and reliability for all 

people and goods in the region.

SCAG is recommending 69 actions for local governments that complement the State 

actions in the 17 SHSP Challenge Areas. A large portion of traffic collisions amongst 

many of the challenge areas occur at intersections. The mixing of various travel modes, 

combined with changes in cross traffic provides a greater potential for collisions. By placing the highest emphasis on intersection safety within each challenge area, SCAG hopes 

to have the greatest effect in reducing traffic fatalities.

This report reviews each SHSP Challenge Area within the SCAG region, noting trends in 

fatalities and injuries, and makes the following recommendations for local governments to 

help further reduce transportation fatalities throughout the region and State.

Transportation Safety 5

Introduction

The safety of people and goods as they travel is one of the key characteristics of any 

transportation system. The importance of providing a safe transportation system is 

emphasized by transportation and law enforcement agencies at all levels, and is recognized as one of the chief responsibilities of transportation planners.

Safety is defined as the protection of persons and property from unintentional damage or 

destruction caused by accidental or natural events.

In 2005, Congress passed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation 

Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), which required states to develop Strategic 

Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs).

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) responded by developing its SHSP 

through a participatory process with over 300 stakeholders throughout California. The 

overarching goal was to reduce the California roadway fatality rate to less than 1.0 fatality per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by 2010. Caltrans is currently updating 

the SHSP to reflect new goals, actions and challenge areas to further reduce transportation fatalities in the State.

The following report documents how the SCAG region is meeting the SHSP goals, and 

details what steps should be taken to further reduce traffic fatalities in the SCAG region.

Existing Conditions

The rate of fatal and injury collisions on California’s highways has declined dramatically 

since the California Highway patrol began keeping such data in the 1930s. California has 

led the nation in roadway safety for much of the past 20 years. Only recently have roadways nationally become as safe as those in California.

California’s 2008 Mileage Death Rate (MDR) – Fatalities per 100 million miles traveled 

(100 Million VMT) is 1.05, much lower than the national MDR of 1.25. Of the five largest states in terms of total traffic fatalities, (CA, FL, TX, GA, & NC), California has the 

best rate.

Consequences of Accidents in the SCAG Region

While the trend indicates a long-term decline in fatalities compared to VMT, it represents 

an unacceptable personal burden on those involved. There is also a regional burden in 

lost productivity, increased traffic congestion and pollution.

The National Safety Council reports that the calculable costs of motor-vehicle crashes are 

wage and productivity losses, medical expenses, administrative expenses, motor vehicle 

damage, and employers’ uninsured costs. The average costs for each traffic death, traffic 

injury, or property damage crash were (in 2005):

 Death – $1,150,000

 Nonfatal Disabling Injury – $52,900

 Property Damage, including non-disabling injuries – $7,500
6 Transportation Safety

While the California SHSP focuses on activities at the State level, local governments can 

supplement these activities providing additional benefit. This document provides a brief 

overview of how jurisdictions can help in the implementation of each strategy laid out in 

the SHSP.

As SCAG is a planning agency, and does not coordinate enforcement, education or emergency response, this document will focus on engineering improvements. Where funding 

information is available for education, enforcement or emergency response, that information is provided.

Existing Conditions

The SCAG region has an extensive transportation system with over 50,000 freeway and 

arterial lane-miles. The region had 11.1 million licensed drivers and 13.4 million registered vehicles in 2008. The same year, over two million people rode public transit daily. 

Unfortunately, 1,533 people died and 124,975 were injured in traffic collisions in the 

SCAG region.

The primary source for collecting accident data in the California SHSP is the Statewide 

Integrated Traffic Reporting System (SWITRS). The California Highway Patrol collects collision data from local and State agencies. Data collected for 2008 in the SCAG region are 

summarized in TABLES 1 and 2.

In research for the SHSP, the data indicates that intersections and turns/rights of way are 

significant factors in many collisions within the various challenge areas (drunk driving, 

elderly drivers, bicycling, etc.). By placing the highest emphasis on intersection safety 

within each challenge area, SCAG hopes to meet the goals of the SHSP to reduce transportation fatalities as well as increase transportation safety in the region.

While the SCAG region has seen a decline in DUI/Drug collision fatalities since 2004 

exceeding the goal set by the State, Orange County and Ventura County still exceed the 

goal. In addition, there was a sharp rise in fatalities in most SCAG counties in 2006 indicating that a reversal in the trend of reduced DUI fatalities could easily occur. 

In addition, data indicates a significant rise in alcohol related fatalities beginning when 

drivers turn 18.

SCAG Response

SCAG has no implementation authority, so can do little to enforce traffic laws, educate travelers, or provide EMS. What SCAG can do is work with the state and county 

transportation commissions to develop projects that promote the goals of the strategic highway safety plan, in conjunction with the enforcement, education and EMS 

goals. Local Governments should consider the following strategies from the SHSP 

Implementation Plan:

1.1 Consider increasing frequency, consistency, and publicity of sobriety checkpoint 

operations by law enforcement agencies in areas with the highest fatality rates.

Law enforcement increased the number of checkpoints in 2010 compared to a year earlier at the 50 cities with the highest rates of DUI fatalities. DUI arrests at the checkpoints 

increased by almost 25 percent.

Cities/counties can continue this work by pursuing NHTSA Incentive/Transfer Program 

Grants under S23 U.S.C. 402 or 23 U.S.C. 410
12 Transportation Safety

1.2 Encourage and increase statewide crime laboratory support and distribution 

of portable evidential breath testing devices to allow for increased use by law 

enforcement personnel.

The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) solicited counties to apply for funding for new 

PEBT devices. Kern and Ventura Counties were awarded 2010 grants. OTS funded $1.7 

million toward support and infrastructure to the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) project to 

replace existing PEBT devices.

Cities/Counties can continue this work by pursuing NHTSA Incentive/Transfer Program 

Grants under Section 410: Alcohol Impaired Driving Countermeasure Incentive Grants.

Cities and Counties should consider many of the following additional strategies as they 

relate to local measures to reduce DUI fatalities.

1.3 Implement and maintain the Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor program 

including specialized (DUI) prosecution training statewide and DUI prosecutor 

mentoring.

1.4 Promote implementation of vertical prosecution of DUI offenders.

1.5 Institute programs that provide intense monitoring of “worst of the worst” repeat 

DUI offenders.

1.6 Develop uniform and consistent system for hospital staff to notify law enforcement upon the arrival of a person who has been involved in a traffic collision in 

which alcohol may have been involved.

1.7 Design and develop a study to identify discrepancies in county DUI rates and 

develop recommendations for system improvements.

1.8 Increase, by 15 percent, the number of law enforcement officers who are trained 

and certified as Drug Recognition Evaluator officers.

1.9 Develop protocol and staffing to expand use of Screening and Brief Intervention 

Programs in hospitals and trauma centers, and encourage courts to obtain presentence alcohol and drug screening investigations as authorized in Vehicle Code 

Section 23249.50 and include resulting recommended treatments in sentencing 

of convicted DUI offenders.

1.10 Track and report in the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) DUI Management 

Information System annual report the enrollment and completion rates of DUI 

offenders into alcohol programs.

1.11 Increase the use of Minor Decoy and Decoy Shoulder Tap Programs to detect and 

deter the furnishing of alcohol to minors.

1.12 DUI countermeasure evaluations including an increase in the use of home arrest 

(electronic confinement) for nonviolent DUI offenders.

1.13 Develop and distribute a “tool kit” identifying programs, providers, and 

resources that will assist communities in implementing effective communitybased, comprehensive, multijurisdictional DUI task forces.

1.14 Encourage Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs training to retail licensees 

and their employees.

1.15 Encourage full law enforcement, forensic laboratory, and DMV compliance and 

application of the administrative license suspension law provisions, through 

ongoing administrative training and outreach to law enforcement agencies, and 

by continuously tracking and reporting statewide and regional administrative 

operation trends.

1.16 Facilitate the development and distribution of reference materials for use by 

judicial officers in court at entry of plea and sentencing proceedings to include 

mandatory sentencing requirements for license suspension, treatment programs, ignition interlock requirements, enhancements for elevated Blood Alcohol 

Content (BAC) levels, and open container laws.

1.17 Increase publicity of the DUI Management Information System annual report to 

law enforcement, alcohol program providers, and the courts.

Challenge Area 2: 

Reduce the Occurrence and Consequence of Leaving the Roadway 

and Head-On Collisions

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of fatalities attributed to vehicles 

leaving the roadway by 15 percent from their 2004 level.

“Within California, data shows that the number of fatalities from vehicles leaving 

the roadway and head-on collisions accounted for 34 percent of total fatalities from 
Transportation Safety 13

2002–2004. Although lower than the national average, further safety improvements are 

possible. In order to reduce the fatalities and injuries resulting from vehicles leaving the 

road, efforts must be made to: (1) keep vehicles from leaving the road, (2) reduce the 

likelihood and severity of errant vehicles crashing into fixed objects, and (3) reduce the 

likelihood of errant vehicles overturning.”

California intends to employ the following strategies to reduce the occurrence and consequence of leaving the roadway:

1. Keep vehicles on the roadway.

2. Minimize the consequences of leaving the roadway.

3. Reduce head-on collisions.

4. Apply advanced technology to reduce collisions.

SCAG Response

Work with subregions and county transportation commissions to continue to incorporate 

into highway construction/reconstruction methods to warn drivers (such as rumble strips, 

“Botts’ Dots,” pavement markers, curve warning signs/beacons) they are leaving the 

highway or wandering into other lanes. 

Support the continuing deployment of high visibility signage and road striping that 

enhance driver’s ability to notice, recognize and respond to warning signs during nighttime or periods of inclement weather.

Strategies that the State is pursuing where local governments can provide 

assistance include:

2.1 Implement a program to reduce run-off-road collisions on local roadways.

2.2 Develop a collision severity reduction program for local roadways.

2.3 Enhance existing collision concentration identification programs (specifically 

the Tables C and C Wet in the Traffic Accident and Surveillance Analysis System 

(TASAS) database) on the State Highway System.

2.4 Develop a program for local roadways that monitors 2- and 3- lane roadways 

for cross centerline collision concentrations.

2.5 Enhance the existing 2- and 3- Lane Monitoring Program on State 

Highway System.

2.6 Enhance the 210.015 Collision Severity Reduction Program on the State 

Highway System.

2.7 Continue to implement and enhance the Run Off Road Program on the State 

Highway System.

2.8 Continue to implement and enhance the Median Barrier Monitoring System on 

the State Highway System.

Challenge Area 3: 

Ensure Drivers are Properly Licensed

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of fatalities attributed to drivers with 

no license, invalid license, or not licensed for class of vehicle by 15 percent from their 

2004 level.

California intends to employ the following strategies to address the challenge of unlicensed and incompetent drivers:

1. Improve the initial licensing process.

2. Improve the competency of licensed California drivers.

3. Improve how California manages unlicensed drivers.

4. Improve how California manages drivers who operate vehicles with a suspended or 

revoked license.

SCAG Response

While SCAG has an interest in ensuring drivers are [properly licensed, SCAG has no 

implementation authority with regard to the strategies and implementation plan. 

Implementation is at a State level.

For reference, the implementation strategies from the Strategic Highway Safety Plan are 

listed below.

3.1 Improve driver competency assessment tools to improve the renewal driver 

licensing process.

3.2 Improve educational components to inform the public about the new laws as new 

initial licensing and renewal licensing laws are implemented and established.
14 Transportation Safety

3.3 Encourage and increase vehicle impoundment for drivers whose licenses are 

suspended or revoked, or who are unlicensed.

3.4 Create a public awareness campaign addressing the consequences of driving 

without a valid license.

3.5 Improve driver competency assessment tools to improve the initial driver licensing process.

3.6 Examine the reasons why some individuals choose to drive without a proper 

license rather than reinstate licensing privileges when eligible and based on this 

information propose ways to increase the reinstatement rate.

3.7 Increase the integrity of the written testing process for driver license

Challenge Area 4:

Increase Use of Safety Belts and Child Safety Seats

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, increase statewide safety belt usage from the 2005 level 

of 92.5 percent to 95 percent, improve the use of child safety seats from 2005 level of 

86.9 percent to 90.0 percent, and increase the percent of all vehicle occupant fatalities 

that are restrained to 70 percent.

The combination of air bags and lap and shoulder safety belts offers the most effective 

safety protection available for passenger vehicle occupants. California reports a 92.5 percent usage of safety belts in motor vehicles for 2005, yet in 60 percent of traffic fatalities 

involving victims under age 9 in California, safety devices were not used.

While SCAG has an interest in ensuring vehicle safety equipment is used, SCAG has 

no implementation authority with regard to the strategies and implementation plan. 

Implementation is at a State level and local level.

Localities can provide increased enforcement, particularly for child safety device usage 

and seat belt use among young (15–24) drivers and passengers.

For reference, the implementation strategies from the Strategic Highway Safety Plan are 

listed below.

4.1 Implement occupant protection programs targeted at ages 15–24 years.

4.2 Encourage increased enforcement and education campaigns for occupant protection programs.

4.3 Implement education campaigns for child passenger safety usage.

4.4 Develop and implement a social norms (media) campaign targeted to ages 15–24 

years to influence or promote seat belt usage.

4.5 Initiate a project to develop a system that links the California Emergency Medical 

Services Information System (CEMSIS), SWITRS, and medical data (for example, 

data on injuries treated in hospitals and emergency departments.

4.6 Encourage prioritization of child passenger safety enforcement statewide.

4.7 Enhance occupant protection curriculum and oversight in all traffic related education programs.

4.8 Incorporate child passenger safety training (from certified child passenger 

safety trainers) into firefighter, health care, law enforcement, community-based 

organizations, and child care curricula/training for both initial and continuing 

education.

4.9 Promote the establishment of permanent child passenger safety fitting stations 

with paid staff, targeting counties based on need.

4.10 Develop a program that increases the accuracy of California child safety occupant protection misuse data.

4.11 Improve the child passenger safety violator process.

4.12 Implement substantially more child passenger violator educational programs 

statewide.

Challenge Area 5: 

Improve Driver Decisions about Rights-of-way and Turning

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of fatalities attributed to improper 

rights of way and turning decisions by 10 percent from their 2004 level.

In 2009, California was 17.7 percent below the goal, a remarkable achievement. However, 

driver errors in rights of way and turning represent nearly 40 percent of all traffic fatalities in California. Improper turning represented the most frequently cited collision factor 

representing nearly 20 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2009.

The Challenge Area Team defined Rights of Way and Turning as the following:

RIGHT OF WAY is a driving concept that is fundamental to the most important decision 

that a driver makes. It is more commonly associated with decisions to cross or enter an 

intersection, but it also applies to maneuvers performed along a uni-directional flow of 

traffic (e.g. weaving, passing, merging and diverging).

IMPROPER TURNING is the primary collision factor (PCF) most often reported when 

vehicles traveling on highway segments (i.e. between access points) leave their lane, then 

the highway, and then crash along the roadside.

UNSAFE LANE CHANGING – is also used to report collisions on highway segments, but 

with one difference: the offending vehicle collides with a vehicle in an adjacent or other 

lane before it can leave the highway. IMPROPER TURNING and UNSAFE LANE CHANGING 

are closely related, and can be mitigated with the same improvement strategies.

The Challenge Area Team developed the following hypotheses concerning the conditions 

causing improper Rights of Way and Turning decisions. The two most prevalent operating 

conditions that occur on a regular (at least daily) basis at high collision locations include:

a. Combination of high volumes and speeds

b. Combination of unstable flow and speed differential between adjacent lanes; this 

condition is noteworthy because it is the primary source of abrupt or last second 

lane changing that appears to present a higher risk or potential for collisions than 

ordinary lane changing.

The most common physical (geometric) conditions or deficiencies at locations or segments with concentrated collisions are:

a. Access points that meet, or violate the minimum spacing requirements (per Caltrans 

or AASHTO policy)

b. Cross-sections of eight or more lanes (4 or more lanes in one direction of travel)

c. High ramp density due to closely spaced access points and multiple ramps serving 

single interchanges (due to high volumes seeking to enter or exit a freeway).

The most complex combination of geometrics, operational maneuvers and decision-making occurs along freeway corridors containing HOV lanes, especially when limited access 

design and operation is employed (the standard practice in Southern California). These 

facilities usually have the highest volume of traffic, the widest cross sections, a high level 

of recurrent and non-recurrent congestion, and left-side access openings between the 

HOV lane and adjacent freeway lanes that are superimposed over the existing right-side 

access ramps in a way that violates standard interchange spacing requirements.
Transportation Safety 17

A large percentage of collisions for this Challenge Area are located in the Los Angeles 

Basin - the area comprised of LA and Orange Counties, and parts of Ventura, Riverside 

and San Bernardino Counties.

This area contains:

 The highest volume highways (freeways) in the state 

 The most congested highways (freeways) in the state

 The most lane miles of HOV lane found anywhere in the state (or nation)

 The highest density of freeway access points in the state (especially where HOV 

access openings have been superimposed on the existing freeway system) 

 The longest commutes in the state (in terms of both distance and duration).

Finally, it is important to recognize that millions of decisions related to operational 

maneuvers occur throughout the entire highway network on a daily basis, yet collisions 

are concentrated over a very small portion of the infrastructure, and only when a certain 

combination of conditions exist. This clearly suggests that the frequency of maneuvers 

is not by itself responsible for collision concentrations. |In fact, the presence of specific 

geometric features (including deficiencies) and operating conditions are prerequisites for 

collision concentrations.

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to reduce the number of fatalities 

attributed to improper rights of way and turning decisions:

1. Educate drivers on turning rules to support proper turning decisions.

2. Increase enforcement of drivers who make unsafe turns.

3. Employ traffic control devices, traffic calming, and speed-reduction design practices 

to reduce the likelihood and severity of crashes related to turning movements.

4. Improve roadway geometrics to restrict unsafe turns by motor vehicles.

5. Apply advanced technology to reduce collisions.

SCAG Response

Support the use of traffic control devices, traffic calming, and speed-reduction design 

practices to reduce the likelihood and severity of crashes related to turning movements.

Support improved roadway geometrics to restrict unsafe turns by motor vehicles.

Support the use of advanced technology and ITS to reduce collisions. 

Encourage local governments to use the Transportation Injury Mapping System 

(TIMS) [See http://tims.berkeley.edu/index.php] to identify high crash locations within 

their jurisdictions.

5.1 Develop and encourage implementation of a systematic approach to the identification and improvement of existing and potential “high crash concentration 

locations” involving improper driver decisions about rights-of-way and turning.

5.2 Develop and encourage implementation of a systematic approach for the review 

of traffic control devices to identify devices in need of replacement, relocation or 

upgrade prior to the routine maintenance cycle.

5.3 Review driver education materials and procedures to include turning rules to 

support proper turning decisions.

5.4 Explore and implement approved technologies being used by other states and 

countries to reduce severe traffic collisions associated with turning and lane 

changing on high-speed, multilane facilities.

5.5 Expand the use of existing technology-based tools and strategies that have been 

demonstrated to correct or minimize the traffic operating conditions that are a 

primary cause of collisions related to abrupt lane changing near freeway merge 

and diverge points.

5.6 Improve and update highway design and operational policy, standards, and practices to reflect safety-related lessons learned and research findings. Apply new 

policy, standards, and practices during the planning and design of improvement 

projects on high-speed, multilane highway facilities.

5.7 Support new and ongoing research and development projects associated with 

in-vehicle communication and information technologies to help detect and warn 

drivers of potential collision with other vehicles in the adjacent lane during lane 

change maneuvers.
18 Transportation Safety

Challenge Area 6: 

Reduce Young Driver Fatalities

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of fatalities attributed to drivers age 

15–20 by 15 percent from their 2004 level.

In 2004, 983 persons aged 15–24 were killed on roadways in California. Nearly 550 of 

them were drivers of motor vehicles. To reach the goal, driver deaths in this age group 

would have to decline to below 468 by 2010. In 2009, 372 drivers, aged 15–24 were 

killed, exceeding the goal set in the Strategic Highway Safety Plan.

Motor Vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for young drivers. As the Figure 8 

indicates, fatalities rapidly increase by age up until age 25, where they decline to levels 

normally associated with older, more experienced drivers.

STRATEGIES

As part of its SHSP Implementation Plan, Caltrans developed the following strategies:

6.1 Implement the Driver Performance Evaluation drive test, as originally developed, 

to include freeway driving.

6.2 Establish a task force to resolve issues and make recommendations related to 

improving driver education and training.

6.3 Increase the use of law enforcement for graduated driver licensing outreach 

programs and proactive enforcement.

6.4 Initiate a program that promotes usage of parent-teen contracts related to driving privileges.

6.5 Expand the implementation of young driver programs such as: Smart Start, Right 

Turn, Teen Smart, Every 15 minutes, Friday-night Live, Sober Graduation, and 

Target Responsibility for Alcohol Connected Emergencies (TRACE), and encourage development of new programs.

6.6 Modify completion certificates for the required driver education and training 

courses to allow the DMV to include information on the driver record reflecting 

the modality of course offered as well as the type of organization that conducted 

the training.

6.7 Implement program to have DMV send a congratulatory letter to every provisional 

licensee that goes six months without any violations or collisions, until the provisional status is terminated at age 18 years. Encourage the insurance industry to 

provide discounts for parents and teens who receive a letter.

6.8 Increase schools district awareness of the State-legislated Safe Routes to School 

Program (SR2S) and the federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program and 

encourage implementation of elements of these programs whenever possible if 

funding is insufficient for a comprehensive implementation.

6.9 Establish a task force to work with existing statewide media campaigns and to 

develop and pursue use of public service announcements to convey traffic safety 

messages related to young drivers and use of alcohol and drugs.
Transportation Safety 19

6.10 Encourage additional local communities to implement and maintain anti-DUI 

programs such as, Teenage Party Prevention, Enforcement and Dispersal, Minor 

Decoy Program, the Shoulder Tap Program, and TRACE.

Challenge Area 7: 

Improve Intersection and Interchange Safety 

for Roadway Users

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of intersection crash fatalities by 15 

percent from their 2004 level.

Over 166,000 people were injured or killed at intersections in the SCAG region between 

2003 and 2005 (an annual average of 55,333), representing nearly 22 percent of traffic 

fatalities and 35 percent of all traffic injury and fatality victims.

The Challenge Area Team noted that in California, on average, during 2003-2005, more 

than 97,000 people were injured or killed each year attempting to navigate the unique 

characteristics of roadways crossing another road or railroad tracks. There are several 

major aspects of the fatal intersection safety problem. Fatal collisions tended to:

 Occur on local roads (80 percent),

 Involve broadside collisions (64 percent), and/or

 Involve violations of traffic signals, stop signs, or another user’s right of way 

(58 percent).

Collisions at intersections represent the greatest factor in a majority of the challenge 

areas. Pedestrians, young drivers, older drivers and impaired drivers each represent over 

20 percent of fatalities and injuries at intersections.

STRATEGIES

Seven strategies were developed that, along with relevant strategies from other challenge areas, have the potential to reduce fatalities at intersections and interchanges. 

These include:

SCAG Response

SCAG is working with communities as part of the blueprint process in order to coordinate 

local land use with transportation. This process incorporates transit oriented development 

and walkable communities. This can include:

 Incorporate intersection safety into the compass blueprint strategy.

 Incorporate ITS at high incident intersections to reduce red-light violations 

causing collisions.

Age

Over 7,500 pedestrians were injured or killed in the SCAG region in 2009. Los Angeles 

County, the most urbanized, has the highest number of killed and injured. In looking at 

percentages, Los Angeles County leads also (the lower absolute number of fatalities and 

injuries in Imperial County skews the data).

One goal of the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan is “By 2010, reduce the number 

of pedestrian fatalities attributed to vehicle collisions by 25 percent from their 2000 

level.” The SCAG region had 349 pedestrian fatalities in 2000. That would entail reducing 

pedestrian fatalities to less than 280 by 2010. In 2009, SCAG had 312 pedestrian fatalities. While progress is being made, the region is still significantly higher than the goal.

SCAG reviewed the SWITRS fatality and injury data. The results of this data indicate:

 The months of October through January have disproportionately high numbers of 

pedestrian injuries.

 Fridays and Saturdays have disproportionately high numbers of pedestrian fatalities 

and severe injuries.

 The highest percentage of pedestrian injuries and fatalities (44 percent) occurred 

while crossing in a crosswalk at an intersection

 Although the bulk of walking trips take place during daylight hours, 60 percent of 

pedestrian fatalities occur during the hours of 7 PM to 7 AM.

 Two-thirds of pedestrians killed in the State and 60 percent of those injured 

were male.

 Older pedestrians (65 and over) account for 19 percent of pedestrian injuries, but 

25 percent of pedestrian fatalities.

 Children 14 and under account for 20 percent of pedestrian injuries, yet only 5 percent of pedestrian fatalities.

 Somewhat lower vehicle speeds in urban areas increase survivability of vehicle 

occupants in a collision, increasing the proportion of pedestrian fatalities to all traffic fatalities.

STRATEGIES

The California SHSP intends to employ the following overall strategies to reduce pedestrian fatalities:

1. Incorporate pedestrian safety into smart growth, land use planning, and other 

local plans.
Transportation Safety 21

2. Enhance the enforcement of violations of pedestrian law by pedestrians and 

motorists.

3. Educate all roadway users regarding the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians.

4. Promote and improve roadway safety infrastructure for pedestrians including the use 

of advanced technology.

5. Improve the visibility of pedestrians on the roadway.

6. Improve the safety of pedestrians traveling to and from schools.

7. Improve data collection and analysis regarding pedestrian trip characteristics, level 

of service, injuries and fatalities on California roadways.

8. Improve pedestrian safety expertise among transportation professionals and others 

involved in the design process.

9. Consider pedestrian needs in all roadway and transit projects.

10. Reduce vehicle speeds on urban thoroughfares and rural highways.

22 Transportation Safety

Challenge Area 9: 

Improve Safety for Older Roadway Users

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of fatalities attributed to drivers age 

65 and older by 10 percent from their 2004 level.

Older drivers tend to self-regulate, driving less, avoiding rush hour and nighttime driving 

unless necessary. However, that means that older drivers are over represented when taking into account vehicle miles traveled. In addition, the frailty associated with advancing 

years means that older drivers are more likely to succumb to injuries in a minor collision 

than a younger person.

Intersections pose a particular safety problem for older drivers. Navigating through 

intersections requires the ability to make rapid decisions, react quickly, and accurately 

judge speed and distance. As these abilities can diminish through aging, older drivers 

have more difficulties at intersections and are more likely to be involved in a fatal crash 

at these locations. Research shows that 37 percent of traffic-related fatalities involving 

drivers aged 65 and older occur at intersections compared with 18 percent for drivers 

aged 26 to 646.

“Failure-to-yield crashes occurred most often when drivers were turning left and 

occurred more frequently at stop signs than at signalized intersections. One reason was 

because failure-to-yield crashes at traffic signals were coded only for drivers turning 

left or right (going straight through a red light was coded as ran traffic control), whereas 

failure-to-yield crashes at stop signs were coded for drivers traveling straight as well as 

turning left or right. However, even among failure-to-yield crashes when drivers were 

turning left or right, a greater percentage occurred at stop signs (45 percent) than at 

signalized intersections (29 percent) . . .”

“. . . Compared with drivers of other ages, drivers ages 70–79 made more evaluation 

errors in failure-to-yield crashes, and these errors generally occurred when drivers saw 

the other vehicles but misjudged whether there was enough time to proceed.”7

This may occur because of the level of cooperation needed at unsignalized intersections. At signalized intersections, the light dictates who moves. At a stop sign, there is 

greater interaction within the intersection proper. Some drivers enter the intersection 

“out of order” or come close to other cars already in the intersection “Among the oldest 

drivers, failure to see other vehicles may be due to age-related declines in visual ability or 

decreased ability to process multiple sources of information simultaneously.” At “two way 

stop” intersections, the problems include, determining two-way or four-way stop, and 

assessing speed of non-stopping cars.

Recognizing that intersections are particularly problematic for older drivers, the FHWA’s 

top priority in its Highway Design Handbook for Older Drivers and Pedestrians is intersection improvements. Practices to improve older drivers’ ability to navigate intersections 

include using bigger signs with larger lettering to identify street names, consistent placement of lane use signs and arrow pavement markings, aligning lanes to improve drivers’ 

ability to see oncoming traffic, and using reflective markers on medians and island curbs 

at intersections to make them easier to see at night. 

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to reduce older driver crashes:

1. Improve driver licensing testing and assessment procedures to more accurately 

reflect behind-the-wheel capabilities.

2. Create and promote wellness and behavioral strategies for older persons, making it 

possible for them to drive safely for added years.

3. Enhance law enforcement training to recognize older driver behaviors that may 

necessitate priority driver license re-examinations, and provide law enforcement 

with a broader understanding of older driver sensitivities.

4. Develop public education materials, programs and tactics that clearly explain how 

the aging process affects driving and what families, friends and the public can do to 

help seniors (1) drive for more years safely and (2) transition comfortably to alternate forms of transportation when driving ceases.

5. Explain and encourage older persons’ self-assessment of driving abilities and how to 

take advantage of that information to make appropriate decisions about driving.

6. Seek the cooperation and coordination of the transit (bus, light rail, etc.) community 

to make these transportation options more accommodating and practical for older 

persons who can no longer drive.

7. Implement advancements in highway lighting, striping, signing and engineering 

practices to make the highway environment safer for older drivers.
Transportation Safety 23

8. Leverage the programs and resources of the Older Californian Traffic Safety Task 

Force to help with accomplishment of stated objectives.

9. Promote the establishment and enhanced capacity of occupational therapy driving 

evaluation and rehabilitation programs that serve seniors.

Challenge Area 10.

Reduce Speeding and Aggressive Driving

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of fatalities attributed to speeding 

and other forms of aggressive driving by 15 percent from their 2004 level.

The SHSP Challenge Area Team performed a review of the statistics from SWTRS reports 

between 2003 and 2005. The results indicate a number of trends in California:

The five counties having the highest number of aggressive driving fatalities in the state 

are Los Angeles (25.1 percent), San Diego (9.5 percent), San Bernardino (7.6 percent), 

Riverside (7.1 percent) and Orange (4.8 percent).
24 Transportation Safety

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to reduce speeding and aggressive 

driving collisions.

The SHSP Implementation Plan will present specific action items to implement 

these strategies:

1. Change our social norms to reduce the acceptability of speeding and other forms of 

aggressive driving.

2. Provide targeted enforcement to locations prone to speeding and other forms of and 

aggressive driving.

3. Employ engineering methods to deter speeding and other forms of aggressive driving 

(e.g. traffic calming).

4. Ensure consistent adjudication of drivers cited for speeding and other forms of 

aggressive driving.

5. Apply advanced technology to reduce collisions.

6. Reduce the presence of speeding, unsafe and aggressive driving on the television 

and in movies.

Challenge Area 11.

Improve Commercial Vehicle Safety

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of commercial vehicle crash fatalities 

by 10 percent from their 2004 level.

Commercial Vehicle Safety is critical to the SCAG region. The region hosts three seaports 

and six active commercial airports that represent a significant amount of imported and 

exported cargo passing into and through the region. In addition, agriculture, particularly in 

Imperial and Ventura counties represent time-critical commercial transportation.

The State has exceeded its goal, reducing fatal collisions involving commercial vehicles in 

2009 by 31 percent from 2004.

TABLE 11 Pedestrians Killed and Injured by Action – 2009

Percent of Total 3.90% 3%

The SCAG region represented 52.1 percent of the State’s 5110 truck collisions that 

involved a fatality or injury in 2009. Of the 5110 truck involved collisions in the State, 

2,124, or 42 percent had truck drivers at fault.

The majority of the 5,110 truck involved collisions in the State occurred when the truck 

was going straight (3,058), stopped (390) followed by changing lanes (331).

11.6 Study the feasibility of improving commercial vehicle safety by adding additional rest stops in identified locations, and increase the number of rest stops 

as needed.

11.7 Advertise next rest stop location, use rest stop smart technology, and add rest 

stop information on the Caltrans website.

Challenge Area 12: 

Improve Motorcycle Safety

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of motorcycle rider fatalities by 10 

percent from their 2004 level. In 2004 in the SCAG region, there were over 3,853 motorcycle collisions, of which 149 were fatal. In 2009, there were 4,789 motorcycle collisions, 

of which 178 were fatal. This represents a 19.5 percent increase in motorcycle fatalities 

in the SCAG region. In contrast, while State motorcycle fatalities increased in the same 

period, it did so by only 10.5 percent.

Year

In the State of California, motorcycles are involved in 13.9 percent of all fatal collisions, 

and 6.2 percent of all injury collisions. Within the SCAG region, motorcycles are involved 

in 14.7 percent of all fatal traffic collisions.

In researching the data for this challenge area, motorcyclists in their 20s were more than 

twice as likely as most other age groups to be at fault in a collision.

The primary collision factors for motorcycle collisions in 2009 were: unsafe speed, 

improper turning and driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and/or drugs. 

 Alcohol impairment is a substantial problem for motorcyclists, more so than for 

drivers of other motor vehicles.

 Unsafe speed and improper turning indicate a need for an emphasis on rider 

education and training.

 Licensing (written/practical testing) and training standards for motorcyclists are 

lower than for drivers of passenger vehicles. This is despite the fact riding a motorcycle requires higher levels of both vehicle control and cognitive skills. 
26 Transportation Safety

The greatest primary collision factor with motorcycle collisions is unsafe speed. Also 

noted in the table is that the 20–24 age group is significantly higher in collisions with 

a primary collision factor of unsafe speed. Younger motorcycle drivers have the highest 

number of collisions in 12 primary collision factors.

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to reduce motorcyclist fatalities:

1. Educate the public on motorcycle safety.

2. Improve the training, testing, and licensing of motorcyclists.

3. Enhance the enforcement of motorcyclist violations and violations by the operators 

of other vehicles.

4. Increase the use of safety equipment by motorcyclists.

5. Improve motorcyclist visibility to other roadway users.

6. Improve roadway design to enhance motorcycle safety.

7. Promote the use of helmets that meet USDOT standards.

SCAG Response

 Work with the State and county transportation commissions to determine if various 

project submissions have potential benefit to safety in this challenge area.

 Work with local governments to help identify motorcycle high-collision concentration 

locations and help develop plans to mitigate possible causes.

12.1 Develop a monitoring program to identify motorcycle high-collision concentration 

locations and implement engineering, enforcement, and education improvements.

12.2 Hold a motorcycle safety summit to review the SHSP actions and create an 

action plan for statewide motorcycle safety initiatives. Include stakeholders representing riders, government, safety organizations, law enforcement, insurance 

companies, and dealers.

12.3 Assess both the DMV’s California Driver Handbook and standard traffic school 

curriculum for information on sharing the road with motorcycles and make additions and revisions as necessary.

12.4 Create and implement an on-line traffic violator school curriculum specifically 

for motorcyclists.

12.5 Install signs and markings at high-crash concentration locations involving 

motorcycles, that are consistent with the CAMUTCD; remove, relocate, make 

breakaway or shield fixed objects; consider crashworthy barriers that are more 

“forgiving” to motorcyclists, or make curve corrections.

12.6 Identify owners of motorcycles who are not licensed to operate a motorcycle 

and alert them to California’s requirement to be licensed in order to operate 

their motorcycle.

12.7 Educate judges, judge pro-tems, and court commissioners through DMV court 

liaisons to make them aware that the Basic Rider Course can be used to educate 

violators and to help them recognize proper and legal safety equipment.

12.8 Focus motorcycle-related law enforcement activities on areas with high motorcycle volumes.

12.9 Develop and implement motorcycle media campaigns such as “Ride like you’re 

invisible, not invincible!” using a social marketing approach and using new media 

(YouTube, My Space, etc.).

Challenge Area 13.

Improve Bicycling Safety

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce the number of bicycle roadway fatalities by 

25 percent from their 2000 level.

In 2000, 118 bicyclists were killed on roads in the SCAG region, and 12,074 were injured. 

In contrast, in 2009, 107 bicyclists were killed and 12,043 were injured, a 9.3 percent 

and .26 percent decline, respectively.

The highest bicycle collision injuries are within the 15–24 age range (27.9 percent as a 

percentage of all bicycle collision injuries). It slowly declines, but then has a slight uptick 

in the 45–54 age range. The highest percentages of bicycling fatalities are within the 

35–44 range (20.6 percent) and 55–64 (19.6 percent)

Fatal Injury

Historically, the primary goal of roadway design for urban thoroughfares and rural highways has been to increase vehicular traffic flow particularly at peak congestion times. 

This has created situations where slow speed bicycles are traveling at speeds less than 

25 miles per hour are sharing lanes with cars often going at much greater speeds. This 

speed differential, coupled with the physics of a 30 pound bicycle colliding with, or being 

struck by, a 3000+ pound vehicle, is a factor in the severity of injuries.

The increasing popularity of bicycling for commuting, utilitarian and recreational use has 

created increasing conflicts between motor vehicles and bicyclists. One obvious potential 

solution is to build more dedicated bicycle facilities in order to separate bicyclists from 
28 Transportation Safety

motorists whether through bike paths or bike lanes. Anecdotal evidence from New York 

City, Portland and other cities indicate that increasing facilities for bicycles both increase 

the number of bicyclists while also increasing their safety.

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to reduce bicyclist fatalities on 

California’s roadways:

1. Improve data collection regarding bicyclist trips, injuries, and fatalities on California 

roadways.

2. Incorporate bicyclists into smart growth, land use planning, and other local plans.

3. Enhance the enforcement of bicyclist and motorist roadway laws.

4. Educate all roadway users regarding the rights and responsibilities of bicyclists.

5. Promote and improve roadway safety infrastructure for bicyclist use.

6. Improve the visibility of bicyclists on the roadway.

7. Improve the safety of bicyclists traveling to and from schools, utilizing education, 

encouragement, enforcement and engineering techniques.

8. Increase the use of helmets and enforcement of related laws.

9. Improve bicycle safety expertise among transportation professionals.

Challenge Area 14.

Enhance Work Zone Safety

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce work zone fatalities by 10 percent from their 

2004 level.

A work zone is an area of the road where maintenance or construction occurs and 

may involve lane closures, detours, shoulder work and moving equipment. In the SCAG 

region, the work zone can be any time of year. On many of SCAG roadways, the work 

often occurs at night. Many fatalities occur because of excessive speed, impaired, and 

distracted driving.

In 2009, there were 46 work zone fatalities in California, a 58 percent reduction from 

the 109 work zone fatalities in 2004. Those killed included drivers, vehicle occupants, 

workers, bicyclists and pedestrians.

Highway work zones create a major safety concern for roadway users and workers alike. 

In 2003, national fatalities in work zones totaled 1,068. This number included 117 pedestrians, most of whom were construction workers, and 943 vehicle drivers and occupants.

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to reduce work zone fatalities:

1. Enhance safe driving through work zones with education and enforcement.

2. Improve traffic control in work zones.

3. Reduce worker exposure and improve worker visibility.

4. Apply advanced technology to enhance work zone area.

5. Improve data collection and analysis.

signdel/pdf/PedBrochure.pdf

14.1 Expand present efforts to create and implement a joint training program for 

field personnel and law enforcement officers to better understand each others’ 

responsibilities and coordinate activities in the work zone.

14.2 Improve collection, storage, and evaluation of work zone crash data.

14.3 Encourage present efforts to increase use of dynamic merge systems to reduce 

rear-end collisions and aggressive driving.

14.4 Encourage and permanently fund present efforts to influence driver behavior 

with Slow for the Cone Zone and Work Zone Awareness campaigns and to reduce 

traffic through work zones using project specific public awareness campaigns.

14.5 Encourage present efforts to deploy more and better mobile and temporary barriers and attenuators (rather than just cones) to provide positive protection for 

workers and safe deflection of errant vehicles.

14.6 Increase work zone safety training and proficiency of workers and traffic 

control staff.

14.7 Encourage present efforts to consider full closures early in the project design 

process with the goal of increasing the use of this option.

14.8 Develop a web-based system that records or gathers in one location information 

about the number, duration, and location of actual major, minor, blanket, and 

rolling work zones. Local road work by counties and cities, including utility companies, will be gathered at a minimum, but other data needs should be identified 

as well.

14.9 Encourage incorporation of the Safety Edge in construction paving projects.

14.10 Assess the DMVs’ California Drivers Handbook for information on work zone 

safety and update or expand it as necessary.

14.11 Form a team to develop industry standards to evaluate innovative technology 

on a routine basis as practitioners propose new methods and technologies to 

improve work zone safety.

14.12 Encourage present efforts to improve access and detours for bicyclists and 

pedestrians near work zones.

14.13 Expand improvements to traffic control and encourage use of project specific 

websites to provide motorists with work zone delay information.
30 Transportation Safety

14.14 Form a team to evaluate best work zone safety practices in other states and to 

develop a request for proposal purchasing process for innovative technology to 

allow routine use with minimum legal challenges.

Challenge Area 15.

Improve Post Crash Survivability

California SHSP Goal: By 2010, reduce crash-related fatalities in California at least 

5 percent from their 2004 level through focused improvements in Emergency Medical 

Services (EMS) system communications, response and safety education.

In 2004, 302,176 persons in California required Emergency Medical Service (EMS) 

response as a result of a serious motor vehicle collision.

Challenge Area 15 focuses on the person that survives a serious motor vehicle collision. 

Improving EMS response time to the collision, transport time, and inter-facility transfer 

time (when appropriate) will result in achieving the targeted “Golden Hour” (the time 

period from the incident until the victim receives definitive specialized trauma care; 

ideally no longer than 60 minutes) Adherence to the “Golden Hour” concept is critical to 

survival and optimum outcome.

The first peak in post-crash deaths is within seconds or minutes of injury. If the number 

of these deaths is to be reduced, it must be through effective prevention programs. The 

second peak in deaths occurs within the first four hours after incident and is due to undiagnosed and untreated injuries. These patients, whose numbers are significant, would 

benefit most from appropriate level of trauma care. Regionalized trauma care facilitates 

rapid transport to the nearest trauma center appropriate for the severity of injury. These 

complications can be positively affected by prompt initial resuscitation efforts in an 

appropriate level trauma center.

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to improve post-crash survivability:

1. Improve technology for locating crash sites and for improving EMS access routes 

and response times.

2. Ensure interoperability of communications systems between all responders to 

crash sites.

3. Improve patient transportation and destination from crash location.

4. Increase availability of appropriate-level trauma centers, with emphasis on 

rural areas.

5. Improve access to trauma-related training courses for Emergency Medical 

Technicians and paramedics.

6. Encourage Emergency Medical Dispatch programs to train dispatchers to assist 

victims awaiting arrival of EMS.

7. Improve data access to meet the needs of EMS.

8. Increase public access to first aid, cardio pulmonary resuscitation CPR, and automated external defibrillation training.

15.1 Implement the CEMSIS with appropriate linkage to other data systems, which 

include but are not limited to the SWITRS, Office of Statewide Health Planning 

and Development, and Vital Statistics.

15.2 Increase hospital participation in an inclusive State Trauma System, supporting the California Statewide Trauma Planning: Assessment and Future 

Direction Document.

15.3 Encourage the increased communication linkage between all emergency 

response agencies.

15.4 Develop a multifaceted educational program with common language for identifying location of crash, destination, and appropriate transportation of injured 

persons. The education will be aimed at the public (e911 cellular phone calls), 

law enforcement, Caltrans, and all pre-hospital personnel.

15.5 Implement a full-spectrum education program developing collaborative practice 

for rural trauma care. To cover the continuum of care, this education will encompass the bystander public, pre-hospital responders, and hospital personnel.

Improve Safety Data Collection, Access and Analysis

California SHSP Goal: Improve the quality, timeliness, accessibility, and usefulness of 

traffic safety data.

STRATEGIES

California intends to employ the following strategies to improve safety data collection, 

access, and analysis:

1. Improve the quality, completeness, and uniformity of data collection practices.

2. Improve data sharing among State, federal, and local agencies and stakeholders.

3. Improve accessibility to real-time information by California roadway users.

4. Enhance accessibility of traffic safety data.

5. Improve data collection and analysis regarding trip characteristics of all roadway 

users, level of service, injuries, and fatalities on California roadways.

6. Coordinate traffic safety information system improvements through the State Traffic 

Records Coordinating Committee.

SCAG Response

 Work with the State and county transportation commissions to improve the quality, 

timeliness, accessibility and usefulness of traffic safety data.

 Publish SHSP safety data and statistics in the annual State of the Region or State of 

the Commute report.

Challenge Area 17.

Reduce Distracted Driving

Interim California SHSP Goal: By 2014, based on the California Traffic Safety Survey, 

reduce the percentage of drivers who “regularly” talk on a hand-held cell phone, handsfree cell phone, or text while driving by 10% from the 2010 level.

STRATEGIES

California added this Challenge Area in response to collisions where cell phone usage was 

listed as a factor and developed the following three strategies to reduce fatalities caused 

by distracted driving. 

17.1 Develop and implement a statewide campaign to change social norms related to 

distracted driving

17.2 Conduct increased enforcement and public awareness annually during National 

Distracted Driving Awareness Month

17.3 Document driver behavior through an annual statewide cell phone/texting observational survey.

SCAG Response

The focus of this challenge area is primarily enforcement and education. SCAG encourages local jurisdictions to develop enforcement and education programs designed to 

discourage distracted driving.

California Five Percent Report 

for the SCAG Region

The following tables represent the SCAG portion of the California Five Percent Report. The 

Five Percent Report is in response to the Federal requirement that each state describe at 

least 5 percent of its locations currently exhibiting the most severe highway safety needs, 

in accordance with 23 U.S.C. Sections 148(c)(1)(D) and 148(g)(3)(A). The Tables include:

 Five Percent of State Highway Locations

 Five Percent of State Highway Intersections/Interchanges

 Five Percent of State Highway Ramp Locations

 Five Percent of Local Streets and Roads 

The Five Percent Report is intended to educate the State of California and local governments where problem locations are, and allow them to take steps to provide solutions. 

The report is for educational purposes and cannot be used in legal proceedings.

In identifying State highway locations, Caltrans used the SHS location information from 

its Traffic Accident Surveillance and Analysis System (TASAS) Table C Report, which 

generates a list of high-collision-concentration locations requiring traffic safety investigation. The TASAS Table C Report provides information for the 36-month period from 

January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2008. It considers collisions for 3-, 6-, 12-,

24-, and 36-month periods; traffic volumes; collision rates; average collision rates; and 

roadway types. The locations on the TASAS Table C Report were sorted into three lists: 

roadway segments (0.2-mile segments), intersections (each intersection location includes 

250 feet on all approaches), and ramps (each ramp location includes entry, exit, and body 

of ramp). For each of these lists, the top 2.5 percent locations by fatal and injury collision 

rates and the top 2.5 percent locations by the number of fatal and injury collisions were 

identified. Combined, these figures comprise the 5 percent SHS locations for this Report. 

The California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System was used 

to obtain collision information for identifying locations on local streets and roads for this 

Report. The local streets and roads were divided into 0.5-mile segments within each 

county, resulting in a total of 280,166 segments. Collision concentrations were determined for segments on which at least one fatal or severe injury collision occurred from 

2006 through 2008, with the assumption that these areas could have potential safety 

needs. There were 17,535 segments identified and sorted to generate lists by county. 

Each county list was sorted from high to low by the number of fatal or severe injury collisions for each segment. Following that, the top 5 percent segments for each of these 

county lists were identified. Segments with at least three or more fatal or severe injury 

collisions were included in this Report as locations.
