Crash Modification Factor for Corner Radius, Right-Turn Speed, and Prediction of Pedestrian Crashes at Signalized Intersections
The objective of this Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) project was to determine the safety effectiveness of low- to medium-cost engineering countermeasures in reducing nonmotorist (i.e., pedestrian) fatalities and injuries at controlled and uncontrolled intersections. The project started with a survey to identify the use of pedestrian treatments and preference for which treatments need a crash modification factor (CMF). Using the survey findings, the FHWA stakeholder engagement working group set the research direction for investigating the relationship of intersection corner radius design with crashes and turning speed. The following three analyses were completed: signalized intersection corner radius CMF, pedestrian crashes at signalized intersections, and right-turn speed.
