Most of the discussion on roadside effects relates to rural two-lane roads, although multilane roads and urban areas are included in some of the discussion (e.g., relating to utility pole accidents and countermeasures). The discussion of median design includes only multilane Interstate and parkway roads in rural areas. Supplemental Notes. Get this from a library!

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Web-Only Document Methodology to Predict the Safety Performance of Rural Multilane Highways explores a methodology designed to predict the safety performance of various elements considered in the planning, design, and operation of nonlimited-access rural multilane highways. In the first step, multi-year data on field-observed crash frequencies for highway segments with pavement resurfacing and shoulder paving (Type I treatment) and highway segments with pavement resurfacing only (Type II treatment), as well as untreated highway segments, on the Illinois state–maintained rural and urban interstate, multilane, and.
U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC Median design issues typically address the presence of median, along with its type and width. There has been some research completed on these issues and their implications on safety. Hauer (33) conducted a review of studies that investi- gated the effect of medians on rural multilane highway safety levels.

Limited research on the safety effects of geometric design features on rural, multilane, non-freeway highways. This study examined the effects of various cross-section-related design elements on accident frequency and developed an accident prediction model for rural, multilane, non-freeway highways.
State Data Bases Used The Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) data base was. Get this from a library. Safety effects of cross-section design on rural multilane highways. [Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.;]. This paper presents a study of the effects of the various cross-section-related design elements on the frequency of accidents for rural, multi-lane, non-freeway roads.
Data extracted from the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) for four States were utilized for data exploration and descriptive analysis. effects of such pavement maintenance activities on highway safety and the most appropriate designs for improved roadways.
Faced with upgrading the existing two-lane rural highway system, highway officials need accurate information on the relationships between accidents and various geometric and roadside Size: 9MB.
Safety Effects of Horizontal Curve and Grade Combinations on Rural Two-Lane Highways CHAPTER 1—INTRODUCTION. This chapter presents an introduction to the report, including key background information for the research, research objectives and scope, and the organization of this report. The work completed here aimed to develop a set of recommendations to be used in evaluating safety implications from design element trade-offs.
The effort focused on developing crash-prediction models and accident modification factors (AMFs) for multilane rural roads regarding lane width, shoulder width, and median width and type. While the AASHTO HSM provides CMFs for the safety effects of horizontal curvature and percent grade on rural two-lane highways, it does not have any method for accounting for the interactions between these effects.

1 Road Type refers to rural two-lane highway, rural multi-lane highway, urban freeway, etc. 2 Road Characteristics includes physical features such as lane widths, access density, etc. 3 Traffic Volume is the ADT or AADT in vehicles per day. 4 Observed Crash Data represents the historic crash data at the study site for a period of more than one year (preferably 3 to 5 years).
Illinois RURAL TWO-LANE/MULTILANE STATE HIGHWAYS October HARD COPIES UNCONTROLLED TWO-LANE HIGHWAYS General The minimum design for a State route is a two-lane, two-way highway. A rural expressway is a high-speed, multilane, divided highway with partial access control.
It is typically divided by a wide, depressed median and consists of both at-grade intersections and. However, there has been limited research on the safety effects of geometric design features on rural, multilane, nonfreeway highways.

Cross Section (Lane Width, Shoulder Width, and Shoulder Type) Benekohal and Lee, “Comparison of Safety Effects of Roadside Versus Roadway Improvements on Two-Lane Rural Highways,” Transportation Research RecordTransportation Research Board, safety effects of cross-section design for two-lane roads - volume i - final report This study was intended to quantify the benefits and costs resulting from lane widening, shoulder widening, shoulder surfacing, sideslope flattening, and roadside by: This page states that the criteria contained in this Roadway Design Manual are applicable to all classes of highways from freeways to two-lane roads.
This page gives a brief description of each section by roadway classification. The page also discusses how the manual is formatted and gives a listing of external reference documents. Abstract. Vertical alignment, which includes vertical grades and lengths, is a critical aspect of highway design policy that influences safety.
A full understanding of the effect of vertical grade and segment length on highway safety can help agencies to evaluate or adjust their design policies regarding vertical alignment design features (grade and length).Cited by: 2.
Prinsloo and Goudanas () produced descriptive models (in a table format) for determining the safety effects of cross-section design elements for four-lane rural highways. Roadway curvature, the presence of a median, and shoulder widths influenced the safety performance of rural highways.
