  19. Safety Strategies Overview NCHRP Report 500 • A series of guides to assist state and local agencies in reducing injuries and fatalities in targeted emphasis areas • The guides correspond to the emphasis areas outlined in the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan. • Each guide includes a brief introduction, a general description of the problem, the strategies/ countermeasures to address the problem, and a model implementation process.

  26. Safety Workshop – County Assignments • May • Confirm groups and select group leaders • Prioritize dates • June • Group Coordinator - Secure Location and Caterer • 50-100 people • $12/person (“all in” including delivery, tax and tip) • Send invites (example will be provided) • July • Group Coordinator - Confirm final headcount (10 days prior to workshop) • Group Coordinator - Email Carla Stueve (SRF) cstueve@srfconsulting.com • Confirm Audio-visual availability for the workshop

  27. Project Development • Reactive Approach – Identifying Black Spot locations with crash rate above the critical crash rate and/or experienced multiple severe crashes in the 5-year study period. • The Systemic Approach – Applying high priority/low cost safety strategies at the at-risk locations across each county’s system of highways. The key questions: • Is every element of the county system equally at risk? • Where to Start? • A new approach to safety planning Old Approach Crashes = Risk & No Crashes = No Risk New Approach No Crashes ≠ No Risk Use surrogates of crashes (roadway and traffic characteristics) to identify risk and prioritize – the 5  (or 6) Ranking System

  28. Support for the SYSTEMIC Approach 68 Greater Minnesota Counties • Segments: 786 severe road departure crashes on 21,000 miles of rural paved county roads • Average Density = 0.01 severe road departure crashes/year • No segments average one severe road departure crash per year • Curves: 327 severe crashes on 15,000 curves • Average Density = 0.004 severe crashes/curve/year • 85% of curves had NO crashes (during 5-year study period) • 5 curves with 2 fatal crashes (0.03% of curves), 19 curves with 2 severe crashes (0.1% of curves) • No curve averaged one severe crash per year • Intersections: 640 severe crashes over 10,000 rural thru/STOP intersections • Average Density = 0.01 severe crashes/intersection/year • No intersection averaged one severe crash per year Target Crash Types The most frequently occurring crashes which represent the greatest opportunity for reduction. The target crash types are RARE. No rural segment, curve or intersection qualifies as a High Crash Location – use the systemic approach to identify risk and prioritize candidate locations for safety investment.

  29. Support for the SYSTEMIC Approach 1 Metro County Signalized Intersections: 919 signalized intersections • RIGHT ANGLE: 95 severe right angle crashes • Average Density = 0.02 severe right angle crashes/intersection/year • 90% of intersections had NO severe right angle crashes, 2% had TWO, and 8% had ONE • No signalized intersection averaged one severe right angle crash per year • PED/BIKE: 54 severe ped/bike crashes • Average Density = 0.01 severe crashes/intersection/year • 94% of intersections had NO severe right angle crashes, 5% had ONE, 0.5% had TWO, 0.2% had THREE • No signalized intersection averaged one severe ped/bike crash per year Segments: 32 severe rear end crashes over 560 miles of county highway • Average Density = 0.01 severe rear end/mile/yea • 87% of corridors had NO severe right angle crashes, 10% had ONE, 2% had TWO, 1 corridor had THREE • No corridor averaged one severe rear end crash per year Target Crash Types The most frequently occurring crashes which represent the greatest opportunity for reduction. The target crash types are RARE. No intersection or segment qualifies as a High Crash Location – use the systemic approach to identify risk and prioritize candidate locations for safety investment.

  31. Urban Signalized Intersection Pedestrian Crash Risk Rating Criteria Characteristics (NOT causation!) • Traffic Signal • Speed Limit • Four Legged • Undivided Roadway • Bus Stop • Pedestrian Generator Percent of Severe Pedestrian Crashes

  32. Rural Road Segment – Risk Rating Criteria (Part 1) Characteristics • Traffic Volume • Access Density • Edge Risk Assessment • Curve Density • Crash Density (786 crashes)

  33. Edge Risk Assessment Rural Road Segment – Risk Rating Criteria (Part 2) 1 Usable Shoulder, Reasonable Clear Zone 2 -No Usable Shoulder but Reasonable Clear Zone 2– Usable Shoulder but Roadside with Fixed Obstacles 3 No Usable Shoulder, Roadside with Fixed Obstacles

  34. Rural Horizontal Curve– Risk Rating Criteria Characteristics • Curve Radius • Traffic Volume • Intersection • Visual Trap • Severe Crash

  35. Rural Thru STOP Intersection Risk Rating Criteria Characteristics • Geometry • Skewed minor leg approach • Intersection on/near horizontal curve • Volume • Minor ADT/Major ADT ratio • Proximity • Previous STOP sign • Railroad crossing • Intersection Related Crashes • Commercial Development in quadrants

  36. Example Rural County Prioritization Segments Intersections Curves Is the County’s entire system at-risk?

  37. Example Urban County Prioritization Intersections – Right-Angle Intersections - Pedestrians

  38. Do the Rating Criteria Really Identify At-Risk Locations? Curve Risk Criteria Phase I and II Curves – 3,990 curves included in analysis of each risk factor. Minimum of 1,500 curves and 76 severe crashes in each category Phase I and II - 5,725 intersections included in analysis of each risk factor. Minimum of 150 intersections and 16 severe crashes in each category Intersection Risk Criteria

  39. Project Development – Urban Signalized Intersections • 115/220 had 5 or 6 Stars • 24/115 are on Lake St • 9/115 are on Penn Ave • 9/115 are on Broadway Ave • 9/115 are on Cedar Ave • 8/115 are on Lyndale Ave • 7/115 are on Lowry Ave • 7/115 are on Franklin Ave Risk Factor Ranking Corridor Projects Over 60% of the at-risk intersections occurred on only a few urban corridors

  40. Project Development – Urban Signalized Intersections Focus of Project Development is on adding Confirmation Lights because the density of severe right angle crashes does NOT appear to be related to the number of overhead indications.

What’s Next • Counties • Review, edit/concur with segment and intersection descriptions. • Begin assembling information about previous deployment of safety strategies; shoulder rumblestrips, 6” edgelines, street lights, chevrons, etc. • Next meetings • Safety Emphasis Areas Review Meeting in June 2012 • Ann Johnson (P.E. Services) will be in contact to assist with data gathering. • Start thinking about Workshop in July 2012
