Abstract:
This information collection request is for states to voluntarily provide any move over/quick clearance laws update. The eligible respondents to this voluntary survey include 50 State DOTs, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, United States. The collection is via email survey, with data collected as needed. Prior information collection was via a website literature review that resulted in the 2008 Traffic Incident Management Quick Clearance Laws publication. The objective of this outreach effort is to develop a Quick Clearance Laws State of the Practice Report. The intent is to provide awareness and knowledge of current State Quick Clearance Laws through outreach and encourage states to establish them. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Incident Management (TIM) programs aim to reduce the duration and impact of incidents on congestion and improve safety for motorists, crash victims, and incident responders through safe quick clearance practices. Additionally, TIM prioritizes effective mitigation practices to return roadways back to normal flow of traffic. Once published the information would be available to the state DOTs, public and other interested parties via the FHWA website.
