STRATEGY SELECTION
![Page 11: Texas Strategic Highway Safety Plan Update · • Strategy: Reduce the incidence of texting while driving • Countermeasures – Conduct regular enforcement campaigns – Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060504/5f1dff1cf4586e74bf2c9ae9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Strategy Selection Guidelines
• Broad categories• Examples
– Demographics, e.g., gender, age– Crash location, e.g., intersections, urban areas– Road user behavior, e.g., impaired walking,
distracted walking, pedestrian crossing behavior
![Page 12: Texas Strategic Highway Safety Plan Update · • Strategy: Reduce the incidence of texting while driving • Countermeasures – Conduct regular enforcement campaigns – Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060504/5f1dff1cf4586e74bf2c9ae9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Strategies vs. Countermeasures
• Strategies– Broad categories– Performance measures
• Countermeasures– Specific actions– Timelines– Measurement methods
![Page 13: Texas Strategic Highway Safety Plan Update · • Strategy: Reduce the incidence of texting while driving • Countermeasures – Conduct regular enforcement campaigns – Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060504/5f1dff1cf4586e74bf2c9ae9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example• Strategy: Reduce the incidence of texting
while driving• Countermeasures
– Conduct regular enforcement campaigns– Review all serious crashes to determine the
extent to which texting was involved– Contact media outlets and encourage them to air
PSAs explaining the science behind the dangers of texting
– Conduct school assemblies to explain the danger and demonstrate alternative behaviors
