This synthesis report will be of interest to highway and other transportation safety specialists and researchers. Considerable attention has been directed at the role of driver sleepiness and fatigue in commercial vehicle crashes; however, 96% of sleep-related crashes do not involve commercial vehicles. This report focuses on the current state of the practice for countermeasures to reduce drowsy driving and the crashes that result from drowsy driving among the general driving public. These countermeasures are presented within the following categories: public education and awareness, new technologies, and roadway (i.e., continuous shoulder rumble strips), environmental (safe stopping areas), and regulatory and judicial (reporting of fatigue-related crashes, sanctions, and licensing) countermeasures. Three examples of effective state practices are also provided. Information was collected by surveying U.S. and Canadian transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search.
