Effectiveness of Behavioral Highway Safety Countermeasures

This report presents the findings of a research project to develop a framework and guidance for estimating the costs and benefits of emerging, experimental, untried, or unproven behavioral highway safety countermeasures. This report will be of particular interest to safety practitioners responsible for the development and implementation of the state's Strategic Highway Safety Plan.
