The Highest Level View of Traffic Safety Issues in Alabama

The major purpose of this document is to provide an understandable working definition of the crash categories of Table 1 so that it is more useful and understandable in the HSP and all other uses to which it might be applied. This has been largely in response to the many questions that come up as to what a particular crash category means. Currently Table 1 is used in the HSP, the SHSP, and most other traffic safety strategic plans (e.g., the Impaired Driving, Restraints, and Traffic Safety Information Systems Strategic Plans). It is included wherever a high-level perspective of traffic safety issues is seen to be of benefit.
