Question
![1) The number of accidents has been recorded at an intersection in the last three years as
follows: 18, 21, and 19. The accidents were mostly due to left-turning vehicles, speeding,
and the absence of left-turn protection. The average ADT for the last 3 years is 8500. The
following shows the crash reduction factor for various countermeasures:
Countermeasure
Reduction Factor
Retime signals
Provide left-turn signal phase
Reduce speed limit on approaches
Provide turning guide lines
0.30
0.30
0.35
0.05
a) Determine the appropriate countermeasures
b) Determine the expected reduction in crashes if the countermeasures are implemented.
The ADT is expected to increase 2%](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ffb8ad2a1-ee28-48e1-88ee-e6a0e7084dd3%2Fe3ed0ead-b168-4098-8480-03d146d9fd97%2Fl3blgw_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
