OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of roadway policies for lighting and
marking of farm equipment in reducing crashes in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. METHODS:
In this ecological study, state policies on lighting and marking of farm
equipment were scored for compliance with standards of the American Society of
Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE). Using generalized estimating
equations negative binomial models, we estimated the relationships between
lighting and marking scores, and farm equipment crash rates, per 100?000 farm
operations. RESULTS: A total of 7083 crashes involving farm equipment was
reported from 2005 to 2010 in the Upper Midwest and Great Plains. As the state
lighting and marking score increased by 5 units, crash rates reduced by 17% (rate
ratio=0.83; 95% CI 0.78 to 0.88). Lighting-only (rate ratio=0.48; 95% CI 0.45 to
0.51) and marking-only policies (rate ratio=0.89; 95% CI 0.83 to 0.96) were each
associated with reduced crash rates. CONCLUSIONS: Aligning lighting and marking
policies with ASABE standards may effectively reduce crash rates involving farm
equipment.
