Evaluation of some results of the 2010 AASHTO Highway Safety Manual

The 2010 Highway Safety Manual makes it possible to develop multi-annual programs for road safety improvement of highways through the identification of dangerous sites, the diagnosis, the proposal of countermeasures, their economic evaluation, the hierarchical arrangement of projects and the assessment of the efficiency of the improvements made. On the other hand, methodologies are available to be able to generate improvement programs of existing highways through their inspection, having similar objectives and following analogous principles and procedures. In this paper, both the methodology of the Highway Safety Manual and a road safety audit or inspection are applied to the section linking Ciudad Mendoza with Córdoba along the Puebla-Córdoba toll road, and a comparison is made of the outcomes resulting from both approaches
