2 2016 Crash Facts Alabama Department of Transportation
Providing a safe transportation system is key to the mission of the Alabama
Department of Transportation. 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 2016 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 2016 Crash Facts that ALMOST 60 PERCENT OF
PEOPLE WHO DIED IN CRASHES WERE NOT WEARING A
SEAT BELT. Statistics clearly show 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 are plenty of good
reasons to buckle up.
I hope you will look further into 2016 Crash Facts to find even more important
insights into making our roads safe.
Drive Safe Alabama!

DriveSafeAlabama.org Quiz IDK Teen Driver Campaign
To reach a tech-savvy teen audience, the Alabama Department of Transportation developed a teen-focused educational quiz that was served to the 15-19 year-old demographic through animated Instagram and Facebook ads.
The goal of the initiative was to increase awareness of safe driving habits among teens and encourage engagement with the Drive Safe Alabama website by leveraging the appeal of a quiz game through social media.
A custom theme and logo/brand was developed to appeal to the target audience. The objective was to influence better behavior behind the wheel by engaging as many teens as possible with clever copy and graphics to take the quiz and learn about safe driving habits.
Over 1,900 participants completed the quiz in the five week campaign push, with a 1.62% click through rate (higher than the industry average).

On average, less than 1 percent of crashes end in a fatality. However, for
DUI crashes, the probability is much greater.
The proportion of fatality crashes involving DUI (3.85 percent) is 7.6 times
that of crashes in general (0.51
percent), as reported in 2016.

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.

ALABAMA’S THEME FOR THE ANNUAL
Work Zone Awareness
PROMOTION IN APRIL 2016 WAS
Don't Be That Driver.
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.
