What if the key to saving lives on the road isn't just preventing crashes, but making sure they don't turn deadly?

About every 15 minutes, someone in the U.S. is killed in a traffic crash. That's roughly 100 lives lost every day, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Even as traffic fatalities have declined in recent years, the numbers remain far too high. In his commentary, Mark Doctor, contributing author, looks at how the Safe System approach is changing the way transportation agencies think about road safety.

Rather than focusing only on preventing crashes, the approach recognizes that people make mistakes and puts greater emphasis on designing roads to reduce the risk of death and serious injury when crashes happen.

How could this shift change the future of road design and traffic safety? Read more in the comments below.

More than $1 billion in federal funding is headed to communities across the country to address roadway safety concerns, from dangerous intersections and railroad crossings to a shortage of truck parking spaces.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced Oct. 30 that the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) will distribute $1.01 billion for 297 projects across all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Tribal lands through its Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program.

The projects are intended to reduce traffic crashes, serious injuries and fatalities by addressing safety problems on local roads and highways. Funding will also support emergency response services and improve medical care for people injured in crashes.

You may have heard of singing bridges, but have you ever heard of a crybaby bridge?

Crybaby bridges are a cultural phenomenon across the country. While in the vicinity of dozens of bridges nationwide, people claim they hear a crying baby or a wailing mother.

These occurrences are tied to local urban legends, many of which share a similar storyline.

Here’s a look at some of the better-known crybaby bridges and the legends that surround them. Link in the comments below.

In rural communities, some of the most important transportation infrastructure is also some of the least recognized. Cattle guards are a good example. They are relatively small structures, often consisting of steel members supported by timber, concrete or other structural components, yet they perform an important function within the rural transportation network. They allow vehicles to travel continuously along public roads while restricting livestock movement into the roadway.

For San Luis Obispo County’s Public Works Department, maintaining these facilities are part of a much larger responsibility—keeping an extensive rural transportation system safe, accessible and operational despite a geographically dispersed infrastructure inventory and a limited maintenance workforce.

The challenge is not simply repairing a cattle guard when something breaks; it is developing a practical maintenance strategy that allows a small workforce to inspect, prioritize, repair and monitor numerous geographically dispersed assets while continuing to respond to the county’s many other public works responsibilities.

So how do you keep these often-overlooked structures safe when crews are spread across miles of rural roads and maintenance resources are limited? San Luis Obispo County is taking a closer look at how to inspect, prioritize and maintain cattle guards before small problems become bigger ones.
