Each year, approximately 4,000 drivers damage infrastructure located along Indiana highways. This infrastructure includes guardrails, cable barriers, crash attenuators, lighting structures, signs, bridges, culverts, fences, traffic signals, pavement, and roadway drainage.
INDOT deployed a state-wide crash damage tagging, management, and invoicing system that associates crash-damaged infrastructure to a police crash report and seeks reimbursement.
