| 摘要： | A survey was sent to local residents living in the oil-producing counties of western North Dakota to measure perceptions of traffic safety. The survey focused on large truck-passenger vehicle interaction. Overall, residents felt driving conditions were dangerous. To investigate if these perceptions are valid, crash data were gathered to see if conditions are actually dangerous. Results showed that injury crashes, fatal crashes, and large truck crashes, were more common in oil-producing counties than elsewhere in the state. This may be linked to economic factors such as the price of a barrel of oil: companies have more trucks and employees on the road when oil prices are high, resulting in more large truck crashes and more danger on the road. |
