Fatigue-related accidents--especially when the driver has actually dozed off--is a serious safety problem. Among 205 drivers surveyed in Maine, 31% had dozed off at least once while driving during the preceding twelve months. Fifteen of these drivers had had a collision as a result of dozing off. A literature search and a survey of the 50 states' DOTs revealed that experiments with continuous shoulder rumble strips (CSRS) have been ongoing since 1955. Currently, 34 states use CSRS along at least parts of their freeway systems, with a few states using them along other roads. Studies indicate that CSRS can reduce run-off-road accidents by 20% to 50%.
