Abstract

Accident reports, field evaluation, questionnaire replies, and other data sources were used to conduct a general study of accidents involving highway bridges in Virginia. Several geometric type characteristics were found to predominate at many of the arterial and primary system bridges investigated. Some of the more salient factors were pavement transitions on bridge approaches, roadway curvature, and combinations of these and other geometric factors.
