| 摘要： | This report describes the implementation and evaluation of a traffic safety program in Wichita, Kansas. The goal of the program was to reduce the incidence of speeding, alcohol-impaired driving (DWI) and non-use of safety belts through well-publicized enforcement strategies focusing attention on all three areas. The Wichita Police Department selected 'Traffic Trifecta: Buckle Up - Slow Down - Drive Sober. Don't gamble with a life' as the theme for their program. The program sequentially emphasized five different combined enforcement strategies over a period of approximately one year. A public information and education program that focused on each strategy ran for about two months. Though several unusual occurrences including abortion protests, severe weather conditions and increased gang-related activities taxed police resources, there was significant increase in DWI enforcement and associated reductions in alcohol-related crashes. Speeding enforcement activity actually decreased somewhat during the project period and thus there were no positive changes in speed outcome measures. Even though there were moderate increase in safety belt enforcement activity, belt use did not increase. It is concluded that the competing demands of non-traffic enforcement activities prevented a fair test of the combined enforcement concept in Wichita. |
