Strategies

Establish roads that avoid built-up areas such as towns, cities, or commercial/business districts

Provide women with information about the risks and benefits of behaviors that affect their health before, during, and after pregnancy

Allow law enforcement officials to stop drivers solely for failing to use a seat belt

Establish plans consistent with personal values and current life circumstances that set goals related to having or not having children; goals often change over time

Attach metal bars, frames, or crush proof cabs to a tractor that provide a safety zone for an operator in the event of a rollover or overturn

Strengthen laws that allow young drivers to gain driving experience in stages; often includes passenger and nighttime driving limitations and higher minimum ages for learner’s permits, intermediate, and full licenses

Ensure appropriate access to 17P, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, by identifying high-risk women, reducing barriers to treatment receipt and completion, coordinating care, etc.

Modify the built environment to affect traffic speed and patterns via speed humps, pedestrian center crossing islands, roundabouts, etc.

Prohibit all drivers from texting or talking on a cell phone while driving

Require all motorcycle operators and passengers to wear a helmet; laws are established statewide and may also include mopeds and scooters
