Studies were conducted at two sites on rural roads with similar characteristics. The first site was 5.1 miles in length with an ADT of 6700. Over the year-long study period, 28 crashes occurred on this portion of roadway, five of them resulting in fatalities. The second site was a 11.2-mile section with an ADT of 5300. There were 32 crashes in this section with four crashes resulting in fatalities.
