SHSP INTERSECTION EMPHASIS AREA

Emphasis Area Definition  The term intersection crash is defined as a crash which occurs just before, just after or inside the limits where two or more highways join or cross.

Emphasis Area Goals  To reduce the number of annual roadway intersection fatalities by 10 per year by December 31, 2014  To reduce the number of annual roadway intersection crashes involving incapacitating injuries by 100 per year by December 31, 2014

Intersection Emphasis Area Objectives  To implement cost-effective countermeasures at acceptable deployment levels to achieve the planned reduction in intersection fatalities and incapacitating injury crashes  To advance new strategies and concepts that support reductions in intersection fatalities and incapacitating injuries  Program projects from current year Intersection Emphasis List

CMF – (CMFs for Changing Left Turn Phasing Paper ) Implement Flashing Yellow Arrow where applicable

CMF = 0.85 (CMF Clearinghouse) Implement retroreflective backplates

CMF ~ 78% for rear-end, wet road crashes (CMF Clearinghouse) Implement High Friction Surface on applicable intersection approaches where applicable

Improve management of access near signalized/unsignalized intersections

Intersection Re-alignment

Local Engineering Strategies?

Develop standard signs and markings layout to be used by field personnel

Implement use of supplemental signal heads where applicable

Signal Head visibility

Signal Head Visibility

Provide Dashed Markings (Extended Left Edgelines) for Major-Road Continuity Across the Median Opening at Divided Highway Intersections

Guide motorists more effectively through complex intersections

Innovative Signs and Markings to assist drivers in judging available gaps

Before-Intersection Signing 22

After-Intersection Signing 23

Clearance Intervals

Speaking of clearance intervals……..  Check side street delay  Check min. green time  Check gap  Check LTT  Uploading/Downloading Timing  Check Pedestrian Timing

Signal Inspection

Resources  Signal Timing Manual - manual.htm manual.htm  Signalized Intersections: Informational Guide - earch/safety/04091/index.cfm earch/safety/04091/index.cfm  ITE Handbook  KYTC Traffic Operations Guidance Manual  NCHRP Report 731
