• Conclusions

– Predominantly rear end, turning & angle collisions – Most crashes during daytime hours – More crashes observed at locations where the roadway does not have adequate capacity – Primary countermeasures include:

• Increasing roadway and intersection capacities
• Providing larger turning radii
• Improving sight distance
• Increasing storage lengths
• Providing left and right turn lanes where warranted
