| Safety Project Development Guide |
Traffic Engineers need an organized tool to provide guidance in developing safety projects to correct common traffic safety problems. Highway safety research has provided excellent information on various crash patterns and possible treatments. The Safety Evaluation Group has developed this web page to disseminate research information into an easily accessible format for Traffic Engineers. The information contained herein is based on several sources and is periodically updated to reflect new data and ongoing research. The Countermeasures given should not be considered comprehensive. Accident Reduction Factors are given for only some of the countermeasures, based on available data. Absence of an Accident Reduction Factor does not imply a lesser effectiveness. Data sources can be located through the NCDOT Research Library.
The information contained herein is intended to be used a guide in helping Traffic Engineers develop safety projects. The information provided is not comprehensive and should not replace sound engineering judgment. Before proceeding, some data must be gathered first. After identifying a potential problem area, an accident study should be done to identify any potential crash patterns.
