Exercise III – US 52 from Sageville to Holy Cross Safety and Operational Effects of Geometric Design Features for Two-Lane Rural Highways Workshop May 2009 Exercise III – US 52 from Sageville to Holy Cross Stop-Controlled Intersections on US 52: (AADTmaj = 2,500) Station Location Type Side Road ADT Predicted Crashes Skew Crashes x CMF 107 East of D 3-leg 450 15 deg 126 West of D 250 5 deg 262 East of F 70 deg 559 F 4-leg 300 0 deg TOTAL ? Complete the table: Predicted crashes of the four stop-controlled intersections and their AMF for skew. Sum the results to obtain the total number of predicted crashes for the four intersections. Session 7 – Exercise III - Intersections

Exercise III – US 52 from Sageville to Holy Cross Safety and Operational Effects of Geometric Design Features for Two-Lane Rural Highways Workshop May 2009 Exercise III – US 52 from Sageville to Holy Cross Compute the predicted crashes for the four (4) intersections on US 52 Compare the Actual Crash Frequency to the Predicted Crash Frequency per year for the Intersections Discussion Pause at this slide; continue on when participants have worked on the exercise. Use Worksheet Exercise III Session 7 – Exercise III - Intersections

Exercise III – US 52 from Sageville to Holy Cross Safety and Operational Effects of Geometric Design Features for Two-Lane Rural Highways Workshop May 2009 Exercise III – US 52 from Sageville to Holy Cross From the US 52 corridor crash information, perform the following: Compare the actual crash frequency per year with the Predicted Crash Frequency performance for the Intersections Actual Crash Frequency = __ crashes / __ years = ___ crashes / year Predicted Intersection Crash Freuency = ____ crashes/year Session 7 – Exercise III - Intersections
