Hazardous Location Identification of Multi-Lane Expressways

Based on the achievements of key research project of Liaoning Province Transportation Department “Research on Road Safety and Traffic Operation of Expressway”, hazardous location of eight-lane expressway are identified adopting quality control method in this article, and comparing with the hazardous location of four-lane and six-lane expressway. The effect of expressway entrance and exit on hazardous location is further analyzed. The preliminary conclusion is achieved that entrance and exit of eight-lane expressway and above is the primary cause of traffic accident. The research results of this article can provide theoretical basis for the design and lane layout of eight-lane expressway and above.
