The state transportation agency has established crash reduction factors shown in the table. An intersection has been identified as having an abnormally high left turn crash rate (17, 20, and 18 crashes in the last three years), attributed to excessive speeds and the absence of an exclusive left-turn phase. The ADT of the intersection for the last three years is 8,400, and the ADT for after implementation is 9,500. Determine (a) the appropriate countermeasures and (b) the expected reduction in crashes if the countermeasures are implemented. . Countermeasure Crash Reduction Factor Retime Signals 0.10 Provide left-turn signal phase 0.30 Reduce speed limit on approaches 0.35 Provide turning guide lines 0.05 Prohibit left turns 0.75
22. An intersection had 25 reported traffic crashes during the months of January through September. The AADT for the intersection is shown. What is the crash rate per million entering vehicles 2000 8000 4000
A proposed improvement will widen a two-lane rural highway from 9-ft-wide (per lane) to 11-ft-wide (per lane) if the highway has an AADT of 2100 veh/day. If there are an average of 25 crashes per year on the segment proposed for improvement, and 67% of the crashes are of the type targeted by the improvement, estimate the expected number of crashes (per year) after the improvement is constructed.
