Background – Massachusetts Laws 

Text Messaging

Drivers are not allowed to manipulate any electronic device to send, write or read messages. The 

penalty is $100 for the first offense, $250 for the second and $500 for subsequent every 

offense5. 

Junior Operators (CDL) Commercial Drivers License

Drivers under 18 years of age, are not permitted to use cell phones while 

driving. The first offense is $100 with a 60‐day license suspension, the second is 

$250 with 180‐day suspension, and the third 

is $500 with 1‐year suspension5.

Mobile device use prohibited is nationwide while operating vehicles that require a CDL. These larger vehicles require 

specific licensure resulting in greater penalties, 

including fines of up to $2,750 or loss of CDL for 

repeat offenders6.

Experiment Summary

Drivers benefitted tremendously from the addition of the dynamic envelope markings. 

One of the important findings of this experiment is that the visibility of the lights and the presence of a car ahead are significantly important aspects for driver safety in the vicinity of crossings.

The cell phone group fared much better than the radio group.

Mobile Observation Experiment Research Objectives

1. Identify attributes of observed distracted driving behaviors and determine which behaviors are more common or dangerous.

2. Understand the role and impact of distraction on crashes, and the reliability associated with crash reporting for distraction related crashes.

Research Questions

1. Has the number of drivers engaging in distracted driving and the number of distracted driving crashes decreased since the existence of the Massachusetts Safe Driving Law?

2. Can crash report narratives provide insight to distraction related crashes? Are these events always correctly identified as distraction related?

3. Are there identifiable hot spot locations for distracted driving crashes in Massachusetts?

Crash Report Narrative Search Results 

Distraction Classified Narratives 72 out of 100 narratives contained distraction key words 5 out of 33 blind reviews had contradicting opinions 25 out of the remaining 95 were classified as non‐distracted by 

the reviewers 23 out of these 25 did not have key words present

Crash Report Narrative Search Results 

Non‐Distraction Classified Narratives 5 out of 100 narratives contained distraction key words 4 out of 5 incorrectly classified as distracted Driver contributing codes for 4 “distraction” narratives:

Disregarded traffic signs, signals, or road markings Inattention Wrong side or wrong way Operating vehicle in erratic, reckless, careless, negligent, or aggressive manner.

Conclusions

Field Observations More female distraction than male Steering wheel held at 12:00 or 6:00 is more popular when 

distracted Cell phone use on arterials is more prevalent than downtown 

or interstate roadway type Crash Data Analysis

Cell phone use while driving has increased Quality of crash reporting may have also increased Social pressures to be constantly connected to others via 

technology

Conclusions (Continued)

Crash Data Analysis Mapping Distraction crashes have increased in areas Percent of distraction crashes has increased

Crash Report Narratives Definition of distraction is not always clear Distraction classified reports do not always have key 

words or phrases appear in narratives Non‐distraction crashes may be incorrectly labeled as 

driver inattention or improper driving

ConclusionsObjective 1: Observe 

Prevalence

Objective 2: Examine Observation Methods

Objective 3: Assess Safety Impacts 

Improved understanding of the magnitude of drivers’ cell phone use among demographics, locations, and driving conditions.

This evaluation can serve as an aid to focus countermeasures aimed to reduce distracted driving.

Evaluate Drivers’ Cell Phone Use

Higher use at signalized intersections as a result of stopped conditions. Observer influence is not significant.

Improved understanding of the prevalence of distracted driving crashes.

Opportunity for Countermeasures

Targeted countermeasures are recommended for populations and conditions that had a higher driving cell phone use and higher distracted driving crash rates: Advertisement based

Females Teens Teen females

Enforcement based Roadways with speed limits 25‐45 Signalized intersections Weekday afternoons CMV

Recommendations for Future Research

Combine cell phone and seat belt observations Continue annually in Massachusetts Encourage other states to combine studies

Improve the quality and accuracy of future observations of cell phone use Include drivers who only text message while stopped as a 

separate category Large scale study to determine the influence of an observer on 

drivers’ cell phone use  Examine non‐intersections to determine the influence of speed 

limit, sinuosity and urbanicity on drivers’ cell phone use.
