Agenda Project Overview - Goals, Objectives Crashes – A Data Driven Process Project Development The Case for a Systemic Approach Risk Rating Criteria Results Questions/Comments 2

County Road Safety Plans Sponsored by… Funding provided by the Minnesota Department of Transportation Almost $3.5 million made available to prepare County Safety Plans for 87 counties over three years 3

Goals and Objectives Development of County Safety Plans Establish safety emphasis areas High priority safety strategies At-risk locations Safety investment options Identify high priority safety projects, both proactive and reactive. Position counties to compete for safety funds Highway Safety Improvement Program High Risk Rural Roads Program Minnesota Central Safety Funds Foster safety culture among county stakeholders 4

Project Approach – Phase IV 5 Crash Analysis Select Safety Emphasis Areas Identify Short List of Critical Strategies Identify Safety Projects Safety Workshop Develop Comprehensive List of Safety Strategies Project Programming Project Development Implementation Evaluation Refinement & Update SHSP Safety Plan April 2012July 2012 June 2012 April 2012 Oct 2012 January 2013 Sept 2012 Review Mtg w/ Counties Kick-off Video Meeting Nov 2012 June 2012

Project Development The key questions: Is every element of the county system equally at risk? Where to Start? A new approach to safety planning Old Approach Crashes = Risk & No Crashes = No Risk New Approach No Crashes ≠ No Risk Use surrogates of crashes (roadway and traffic characteristics) to identify risk and prioritize – the 5  (or 6) Ranking System 8 Reactive Approach Reactive Approach – Identifying Black Spot locations with crash rate above the critical crash rate and/or experienced multiple severe crashes in the 5-year study period. The Systemic Approach The Systemic Approach – Applying high priority/low cost safety strategies at the at-risk locations across each county’s system of highways.

Support for the SYSTEMIC Approach 68 Greater Minnesota Counties Segments: Segments: 786 severe road departure crashes on 21,000 miles of rural paved county roads Average Density = 0.01 severe road departure crashes/year No segments average one severe road departure crash per year Curves Curves: 327 severe crashes on 15,000 curves Average Density = severe crashes/curve/year 85% of curves had NO crashes (during 5-year study period) 5 curves with 2 fatal crashes (0.03% of curves), 19 curves with 2 severe crashes (0.1% of curves) No curve averaged one severe crash per year Intersections Intersections: 640 severe crashes over 10,000 rural thru/STOP intersections Average Density = 0.01 severe crashes/intersection/year No intersection averaged one severe crash per year 9 RARE The target crash types are RARE. No rural segment, curve or intersection qualifies as a High Crash Location – use the systemic approach to identify risk and prioritize candidate locations for safety investment.

Example Rural County Prioritization 17 Segments Intersections Curves Is the County’s entire system at-risk?

Example Urban County Prioritization 18 Intersections - Pedestrians Intersections – Right-Angle

Do the Rating Criteria Really Identify At-Risk Locations? Phase I and II Curves – 3,990 curves included in analysis of each risk factor. Minimum of 1,500 curves and 76 severe crashes in each category Phase I and II - 5,725 intersections included in analysis of each risk factor. Minimum of 150 intersections and 16 severe crashes in each category 19 Curve Risk Criteria Intersection Risk Criteria

6/6/ Project Development – Urban Signalized Intersections 115/220 had 5 or 6 Stars 24/115 are on Lake St 9/115 are on Penn Ave 9/115 are on Broadway Ave 9/115 are on Cedar Ave 8/115 are on Lyndale Ave 7/115 are on Lowry Ave 7/115 are on Franklin Ave Risk Factor RankingCorridor Projects Over 60% of the at-risk intersections occurred on only a few urban corridors

Project Development – Urban Signalized Intersections 21 Focus of Project Development is on adding Confirmation Lights because the density of severe right angle crashes does NOT appear to be related to the number of overhead indications.
