3 214 Maine Highway Safety Facts The Bureau of Highway Safety and the Maine Department of Transportation are pleased to present the 214 edition of Maine Highway Safety Facts. It provides a view of traffic crashes and their factors in Maine and can be a valuable tool in problem identification, safety education and community activities. Since it is intended to provide a general information overview, the data is presented in a very basic format. Trend lines reflect 5 year annual averages. Topics covered represent the most frequently requested information. Data sources are from Maine Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and MaineDOT crash data system. Any comments or questions you may have about the information are welcome.

Two crash types will normally result - either head-on or went off-road. Those two crash types are further detailed on the following pages. 12, 1, 8, 6, 4, 2, Maine Lane Departure 5YAA = 8,

46 Prior to 211, police crash reports captured general distracted/ inattentive driving factors, and 1,+ distraction/inattention related crashes were reported annually. During 211, Maine switched to an updated crash report in line with national guidance that now reports on specific distracted practices. This does not include generic inattention, greatly reducing the reported number of distracted crashes. Distracted driving behaviors are usually self-reported. 14, 12, 1, 8, 6, 4, 2, Distracted Driving Old Report Format New Report Format Updated crash report developed
