Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Transportation Safety
  • Injury Prevention

Background:

  • Motorcycle crashes cause a disproportionate number of U.S. traffic fatalities and injuries.
  • Motorcycle helmet use reduces fatal injury risk by an estimated 42% and head injury risk by 69%.
  • U.S. motorcycle helmet usage has declined, reaching 60% in 2013.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the effectiveness of motorcycle helmet laws in increasing helmet use.
  • To assess the impact of these laws on motorcycle-related deaths and injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Searched health and transportation databases from inception to August 2012.
  • Reviewed reference lists of relevant publications and gray literature.
  • Analyzed data in 2014, including 60 U.S. studies.

Main Results:

  • Universal helmet laws increased helmet use by a median of 47 percentage points.
  • Universal helmet laws reduced total deaths by a median of 32% and deaths per motorcycle by 29%.
  • Repealing universal helmet laws decreased helmet use by 39% and increased total deaths by 42%.

Conclusions:

  • Universal motorcycle helmet laws are effective in increasing helmet use and reducing fatalities and injuries.
  • These laws benefit motorcyclists of all ages.
  • Repeal of universal helmet laws negatively impacts rider safety, increasing deaths and injuries.
