Review of TMR guidance for head-on, run-off-road and intersection crashes in Queensland: Year 3 - 2016/17

A review of historical crash data revealed that the three key crash types which occur on Queensland roads are intersection, run-off-road and head-on crashes. TMR commissioned ARRB to examine these crash types to identify treatment options to reduce the occurrence and severity of these crashes. This is the final report of a three year project. The first two years of the project involved the review of head-on, run-off road and intersection crashes on Queensland roads. For each of the crash types the following was undertaken: a review of the literature to identify available treatments and their effectiveness in reducing the likelihood and severity of that crash; and a comprehensive analysis of crash data from 2007 to 2011 to determine any trends, key road features and other factors contributing to the occurrence and severity of these crash types for both local and state-controlled roads in Queensland. Based on the review of literature and the findings from the crash analysis, recommended engineering treatments to reduce head-on, run-off-road and intersection crashes were provided. A series of Technical Notes addressing head-on, run-off-road and intersections crashes has been prepared and they are presented in this report.
