- For a specific rural road segment in northeast Colorado, the total number of crashes as well as the number of fatal crashes have been recorded. Using the data provided with a traffic analysis within two standard deviations (or 95% confidence interval), determine if this site should be flagged for further study. Data: Length of road segment = 2 mi. AADT = 11,350 veh/day Total number of injury crashes for past 5 years = 55 Total number of fatal crashes for past 5 years = 5 Total number of property-only crashes for past 5 years = 100 Average number of statewide injury crashes for rural roads over past 5 years = 1.30 per 106 VMT Average number of statewide fatal crashes for rural roads over past 5 years = 0.02 per 106 VMT Average number of statewide property only crashes for rural roads over past 5 years = .033 per 106 VMT Weighted average crash rate of injury crashes for rural Colorado roads = 3 Weighted average crash rate of fatal crashes for rural Colorado roads = 8 Weighted…arrow_forwardDescribe the following types of traffic volume counts and explain when they are used: 1.
