2 LETTER FROM THE Transportation Director The Alabama Department of Transportation works constantly to make our roads as safe as they can be. 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 2015 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 2015 Crash Facts that ALMOST 60 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO DIED IN CRASHES WERE NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. Statistics prove seat belts and using proper safety restraints save lives. Violators of Alabama s restraint laws may be fined and assessed points on their driver licenses. Simply put, there s plenty of good reasons to buckle up. I hope you will look further into 2015 Crash Facts to find even more important insights into staying safe on our roads. Drive Safe Alabama! John R. Cooper Transportation Director Crash Facts Alabama Department of Transportation

4 2015 CRASH DATA Quick Facts 2015 CRASH DATA 2015 VS There were 849 people killed in 789 fatal crashes. All Crashes 147,452 Increased 10.68% Injuries 44,020 Increased 11.39% Fatal Crashes 789 Increased 6.77% Fatalities 849 Increased 3.41% A traffic crash was reported every 3.55 minutes. A person was injured in a traffic crash every 11 minutes and 56 seconds. Speeding is the leading cause of fatal crashes. Registered Vehicles in Alabama Licensed Drivers in Alabama Vehicle Miles Traveled in Alabama 5,532,071 Increased 2.54% 3,939,442 Increased 0.68% 68,501,740,000 Increased 3.08% For fatal crashes where a safety restraint was available for use, more than 56 percent of fatalities were unrestrained. Most Alabama crashes (78 percent) occurred in urban areas, but most fatalities (59 percent) occurred in rural areas. Of all fatal crashes, 9.5 percent were caused by drivers 19 or under, and 23.3 percent were caused by drivers under 25 years of age. For each fatality, there were 51 injuries. Based on 2015 data, typical drivers in Alabama have GREATER THAN A ONE IN THREE CHANCE OF INVOLVEMENT IN AN INJURY OR FATAL CRASH operating a vehicle over their lifetimes. Of all fatal crashes, 49 percent occurred at night (including dusk and dawn). The pedestrian death toll was 96. There were 74 fatalities involving motorcycle or moped riders. Bicyclists accounted for 9 fatalities. The PROBABILITY OF INDIVIDUALS BEING IN A CRASH of any severity during their lifetimes is GREATER THAN 98%. There were 5 fatalities with train involvement. For front seat occupants who are in vehicle crashes, the probability of being killed is 45 times higher for those not wearing safety belts than those who are properly restrained Crash Facts Alabama Department of Transportation

13 FLASHING YELLOW ARROW Campaign In 2015, Alabama began introducing a new type of traffic signal to help motorists navigate busy intersections. The new flashing yellow arrow means turns are permitted, but you must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, then turn with caution. A FLASHING YELLOW ARROW SIGNAL OFFERS A SAFER, MORE EFFICIENT WAY TO HANDLE TRAFFIC TURNING LEFT AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. In an effort to educate drivers about the new type of signal, the Alabama Department of Transportation developed direct mail, outdoor advertising, radio spots, and an education video about the new Flashing Yellow Arrow Signal. Introductory Video Flashing Yellow Arrow Campaign Get Ready for the Flash! There s a brand new traffic light with a flashing yellow arrow that s going to help traffic flow smoother. If you see a flashing yellow arrow in the left turn lane, just yield to oncoming traffic and then turn when clear. You ll be on your way in a flash! A red arrow means stop. No turns permitted. Steady yellow means the light is about to turn red. Be prepared to stop.

U.S. Postage PAID Permit No. 165 Mobile, AL NEW flashing yellow arrow means left turns are permitted. Yield to traffic, then turn when clear. A steady green arrow means it s okay to turn.
