Special enforcement programs to increase belt use present a unique challenge in states with secondary enforcement laws. This paper reports findings from an evaluation of a combined public information and education/enforcement program to increase restraint use along a highly traveled corridor in three Michigan counties. This program (US-31 SAVE) was successful in increasing belt use at least temporarily along the special enforcement corridor. Observed belt use increased from a baseline rate of 56.7% to 65.1% during the program before slipping slightly to 62.7% after the intensive enforcement and PI&E declined (all differences significant at p less than .05). This paper details program and evaluation activities and suggests future research needs to better understand the most effective mix of public information and enforcement efforts in states with secondary belt use laws.
在实行二级执法法律的州，旨在提高安全带使用率的专项执法计划面临着独特的挑战。本文报告了一项评估的结果，该评估针对密歇根州三个县一条交通繁忙的走廊实施了一项公共信息与教育/执法相结合的计划，以提高安全带使用率。该计划（美国31号公路安全计划）至少在短期内成功提高了专项执法走廊沿线的安全带使用率。在该计划实施期间，观察到的安全带使用率从基线的56.7%提高到了65.1%，在强化执法结束且公共信息与教育活动减少后，略有下降至62.7%（所有差异在p小于0.05时具有统计学意义）。本文详细介绍了该计划和评估活动，并提出了未来的研究需求，以便更好地了解在实行二级安全带使用法律的州，公共信息和执法工作的最有效组合。
