Unfortunately, reduced volumes resulting from COVID-19, along with the strain on enforcement, appears to be producing higher speeds and more aggressive driving. Several of the MnDOT data driven safety priorities, noted below, may be impacted by these new conditions. Understanding the magnitude of speeding and other driver behaviors requires measurement and contrast. This effort focuses on roadways within rural areas, which typically have the highest fatality and injury rates. We will also examine work zones where the combination of speed and inattention can yield disastrous results not only for the driver and occupants but also agency and construction workers. |
