| Title: | Safe Truck Mobility for North Dakota Winter Roads |
| Publication Date: | Jan 2025 |
| Type: | Issue Brief |
Abstract
Winter storms significantly increase crash risk and disrupt travel, especially under extreme conditions. Gusty winds, heavy moisture, and low temperatures can quickly make travel dangerous in the Northern Plains. Crash analysis revealed key features and contributing factors. Peer states, including South Dakota and Wyoming, shared winter road management processes, enforcement practices, road closure decisions, education programs, and communication practices. Proactive planning, policy, and resource deployment can minimize travel. While limited geography, the study informs other states about safe truck mobility during dangerous winter storm events.
