摘要: |
This is the latest report in a series documenting five-year trends in Michigan traffic
crashes. This report provides background information necessary for the Michigan Office of
Highway Safety Planning to set and evaluate traffic safety goals and to prioritize program
efforts. In prior years, this report was quite a large document that many readers found
unwieldy. Readers also noted that they were satisfied with the information presented in the
executive summary representing the most relevant findings from the complete set of analyses.
The goal of this year ’s report is to present findings from those analyses sufficiently relevant to
have been summarized in the executive summary of reports from previous years. The
significantly longer and more detailed portion of the report from previous years has been
omitted to increase usability of the report and the findings detailed within.
The most significant areas for improving traffic safety in Michigan include:
Alcohol-impaired driving
Crashes involving inappropriate driver behavior like speeding, following too close
Occupant restraint use
Roadway safety issues like intersection safety, red light running
Mate drivers age 16-20
Mate Drivers age 21-34
Crashes on city/county roads
Crashes during peak travel seasons
The growing elderly driver population
Vehicle occupants age 0-15
