2 2018 Crash Facts Alabama Department of Transportation
Safety is paramount in the work we do at the Alabama Department of Transportation.
It begins with our pre-construction process, where we plan and design the safest
roads and bridges possible. Whether it’s planning for new construction, replacing
functionally obsolete or structurally deficient bridges, or widening shoulders scored
with rumble strips on rural resurfacing projects, we focus on safety.
Analyzing data about crashes is an important part of how ALDOT personnel identify
specific opportunities for improving the safety of our transportation system. We then
use innovative engineering techniques, perform routine maintenance, and manage
funding in a fiscally responsible and priority-based manner to create safer roads.
As you review the data in the 2018 Crash Facts book, I challenge you to consider your
personal commitment to safety and the things you can do to help reduce the number
of crashes in Alabama. Always follow speed limits; drive sober; buckle up; share the
road with motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians; obey railroad crossing signals; avoid
any and all forms of distracted driving; and lead by example by teaching young
people safe driving habits.
Wearing a seat belt and making sure that everybody in the vehicle is wearing a seat
belt is the single most important safety habit you can adopt. You will see on page 22
of 2018 Crash Facts that ALMOST 60 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO DIED
IN CRASHES WERE NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. Statistics clearly
show that seat belts save lives. Violators of Alabama’s seat belt laws may be fined
and assessed points on their driver licenses. Simply put, there are plenty of good
reasons to buckle up.
I hope you will look further into 2018 Crash Facts to find even more important
insights into making our roads safe.

In the state of Alabama, 9 percent of all fatal crashes
were caused by drivers 19 or under and 20 percent
were caused by drivers under 25.
With motor vehicle crashes being the leading cause
of death for people 15-19 years old, ALDOT created
the relevant “Celebrate Life” PSA to reach Licensed
Drivers 16-20.

In addition, the awareness created by the PSA during
the state finals resulted in a 139.5% year-over-year
increase in traffic to the Drive Safe initiatives web

*All causal drivers suspected of alcohol or drug impairment.
On average, less than 1 percent of crashes
end in a fatality. However, for impaired driving
crashes, the probability is much greater. The proportion
of fatality crashes involving impairment
(2.98 percent) is 6.5 times that of crashes
in general (0.46 percent), as reported in 2018.
There were 196 people who died in 5,708 crashes
with suspected alcohol or drug impairment.

Driver behavior issues include ignoring
flashing lights or other active warning devices,
passing through barrier gates, and driving around
already lowered gates/failure to observe passive
warning devices.
According to NHTSA, a motorist is almost 20 times more likely to die in a crash involving a train than in a collision involving
another motor vehicle.

APRIL OF EACH YEAR. ALABAMA’S THEME FOR
Work Zone Awareness
IN 2018 WAS
Work Zone Safety: Everybody’s
Responsibility
Drivers need to be particularly alert when
traveling through highway work zones.
When a road is not in its usual condition due
to construction, it is essential to slow down.
Fines for speeding double in work zones
when construction workers are present.
Work zone crashes are dangerous to both
highway workers and motorists.
Most work zone crashes are rear-end collisions, resulting from speeding or inattentive driving.

Work Zone Safety Campaign
Participating in National Work Zone Awareness Week brought attention to the more than 3,500 Alabama work zone crashes of 2018. ALDOT held a work zone safety press conference in Mobile, AL to bring media attention to the need for work zone safety.
ALDOT used digital technology to promote work zone safety for the state’s largest project, the closure of Interstate 59/20 in the Birmingham Central Business District. Mobile safety messages were targeted to those who regularly drive through the work zone. Governor Kay Ivey signed a proclamation for Work Zone Awareness Week in Alabama alongside two ALDOT employees that were struck by a driver in a work zone in 2017.

Reaching Alabama
College sports are at the center of daily life in the South. And in Alabama, college football is a really big deal. Outreach through college sports gave ALDOT the opportunity to reach hundreds of thousands of people across the state with its Drive Safe Alabama campaign. Radio and print advertising, digital
marketing, in-stadium signage, and social media were included in this sports marketing outreach. Along with promoting seat belt usage, the Drive Safe Alabama campaign reached football fans with messages to encourage sober drivers to take the wheel.
