For nearly a decade, Indiana has seen a significant decrease in the number of people killed on its roadways. Although Indiana's six year downward trend has been interrupted by increased fatalities in 2010 over 2009, Indiana has still reduced traffic fatalities on the roadways by nearly 20 percent over the past ten years. This year's fatalitiy number of 751 is still well below the ten year average of 873, with the exception of last year's historic low, Indiana has not seen a number this low since 1944. The education of the motoring public coupled with the enforcement of new laws such as primary seat belt and .08 BAC has no doubt played a critical role in helping to make Hoosier roadways safer. |
