The Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) brings together many safety stakeholders that include various state agencies, law enforcement agencies, the Maine Turnpike Authority, AAA, and the Maine Motor Transport Association. Together they attempt to address Maine's safety concerns in a coordinated way and maximize effectiveness and efficiency in achieving the improvements in target areas. There are strategic focus areas identified that include lane departure, and mature drivers.
An average of 500 crashes occur each year in Maine work zones, resulting in several fatalities. Another 200 are injured. Workers in these areas are vulnerable to serious injury, as are vehicle occupants.
