Learn the essential components of collision diagram preparation and how to detect treatable crash patterns using before and after diagrams. Understand how collision diagrams serve as a fundamental tool for analyzing crash activity, illuminating patterns, and outlining statistical data in various intersection and non-intersection scenarios. Explore methods like manual, CADD, and commercial tools for diagram preparation, including examples of 4-leg, T, Y, and roundabout intersections. Discover how before/after diagrams visually demonstrate treatment effects on crash patterns.
