EVALUATION OF DESIGN AND CONTROL ALTERNATIVES TO IMPROVE SAFETY OF INTERSECTIONS OF MULTI-LANE HIGHWAYS WITH OTHER HIGHWAYS
The important results of earlier phases of this research - (1) correlation of accident rates and selected roadway design and traffic engineering factors; (2) utilization of a team approach to field evaluation of accident types, causal factors and countermeasures at high accident sites and (3) the use of a simulation program to analyze possible countermeasures for high accident locations - are summarized in this report. In addition 18 high accident intersections in Indiana selected by the Indiana State Highway Commission are individually analyzed using the results of the earlier phases of this Study, and recommended countermeasures for reduction of the accidents at these sites are presented.
