Abstract

This report contains the findings of research performed to quantify the safety and operational impacts of design element trade-offs and their associated risks. The report details the research performed and includes specific recommended crash prediction models and Accident Modification Factors (AMFs) for shoulder width and median width on rural four-lane roads. Thus, the report will be of immediate interest to engineers in state highway agencies responsible for geometric design and traffic operations and safety. (Author/publisher)
