Curve Collisions: Road and Collision Characteristics and Countermeasures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize collisions reported to be on two-lane road curves in North Carolina using the Highway Safety Information System (HISIS) and provide recommendations from the literature to treat overrepresented collision types on horizontal curves, such as collisions on grades, rural, severe injury or fatal, fixed object (particularly tree, ditch, and embankment), overturn, off peak hours (particularly during darkness on unlighted roads), weekend, holiday periods, and wet, icy, or snowy pavement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of GIS Applications for Horizontal Curve Data Collection
TL;DR: In this article, three GIS applications were evaluated for performance accuracy on the basis of a comparison with precisely drawn curves [with radii ranging from 30.5 to 60.5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crash Modification Factors for Changes to Left-Turn Phasing
Raghavan Srinivasan,Craig Lyon,Bhagwant Persaud,Jongdae Baek,Frank Gross,Sarah Smith,Carl Sundstrom +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimated crash modification factors (CMFs) from before-after evaluations of two treatments targeted at reducing left-turn crashes at signalized intersections: (a) changes from permissive to protected-permissive phasing and (b) the implementation of a flashing yellow arrow for permissive left turns.

Evaluation of Safety Strategies at Signalized Intersections
Raghavan Srinivasan,Jongdae Baek,Sarah Smith,Carl Sundstrom,Daniel Carter,Craig Lyon,Bhagwant Persaud,Frank Gross,Kim Eccles,Ajmal Hamidi,Nancy Lefler +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present crash modification factors (CMFs) for safety strategies at signalized intersections, which are a tool for quickly estimating the impact of safety improvements at intersections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Crash Modification Factors for Uncontrolled Pedestrian Crossing Treatments
Charles V. Zegeer,Craig Lyon,Raghavan Srinivasan,Bhagwant Persaud,Bo Lan,Sarah Smith,Daniel Carter,Nathan J. Thirsk,John D Zegeer,Erin Ferguson,Ron Van Houten,Carl Sundstrom +11 more
TL;DR: All four of the treatment types were found to be associated with reductions in pedestrian crash risk, compared with the reductions at untreated sites, and RRFBs had their basis in a limited sample and must be used with caution.
