South Dakota launches effort to reduce number of fatal crashesPIERRE, South Dakota - The traffic fatality rate in South Dakota far exceeds the national average, so a special committee will look for ways to cut the number of deadly crashes on South Dakota roads.
State Public Safety Secretary Tom Dravland said he was troubled when the latest reports showed that 2.15 people were killed for each 100 million vehicle miles traveled in South Dakota last year, a much higher rate than the 1.5 recorded nationally.
And South Dakota had the third worst rate in the nation last year in terms of fatal crashes that involve alcohol, doing better than only Montana and South Carolina, Dravland said. About 50.5 percent of the fatal accidents in South Dakota were alcohol-related, much higher than the 41 percent nationally.
South Dakota recorded 180 traffic deaths in 2002, the most since 228 were killed on the roads in 1980. Ninety-one of those who died in South Dakota crashes last year were in alcohol-related accidents.
Dravland said he believes the key to reducing traffic deaths is to reduce drunken driving and increase seat belt use.
South Dakota Highway Patrol troopers and other law officers have worked hard to get drunken drivers off the road and make everyone obey traffic laws, but the number of highway deaths has continued to increase in recent years, Dravland said. That means other approaches, including education and publicity, are needed to tackle the problem, he said.
"We've got to look at a different way to do this other than just enforcement," said Dravland, who formerly was head of the Highway Patrol. "Enforcement is still a component, and I would think a key component. But we need to get back into education and awareness as well."
Seat belt use in South Dakota has been increasing, and about 69 percent of travelers now buckle up. But that's still below the national average of 77 percent who wear seat belts, Dravland said.
The new Roadway Safety Committee will include officials from state agencies that deal with public safety, transportation, education, health and alcohol problems. The panel also will include some federal officials, representatives of the transportation industry, officials from the South Dakota Sheriffs' Association and the Chiefs of Police Association, and groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
The committee will look at education programs, publicity campaigns, road design and anything else it believes will help cut traffic fatalities, Dravland said. The ongoing effort will be reviewed regularly to determine which approaches are effective, he said.
Perkins County Sheriff Kelly Serr, president of the Sheriffs' Association, said his colleagues were surprised to learn at their fall conference that South Dakota had such bad rankings in fatal crashes. The sheriffs believe that people need to be informed about the problem so they can help reduce drunken driving, he said.
If people understand the problem, they can prevent friends from driving while intoxicated, organize designated drivers and support law officers in enforcing the laws, Serr said.
"To me, making a DUI arrest isn't everything. If we can get the people to be more responsible by not drinking and driving or by using designated drivers or whatever, we still get the same result, and that's taking the drinking drivers off the road," the sheriff said.
Dravland said speed is also a factor in many accidents, and about 85 percent of all fatal crashes occur outside urban areas.
Transportation Department measuring devices have found that the average speed on rural interstate highways is 73.4 mph, just under the 75 mph speed limit, Dravland said. The average speed on two-lane highways with a 65 mph limit is 65.2 mph, he said.
