A local jurisdiction has determined that for a given set of geometric conditions, a maximum rate of 8 crashes/million entering vehicles can be tolerated. At an intersection of 2 roadways with ADTs of 10,000 and 7500, how many crashes can occur before corrective action must be sought?
What will be an ideal response?
Use Equation 5.26:
RMEV = A(1,000,000) / (ADT)(365 days)
8 = A(1,000,000) / (17,500)(365)
A = 51.1 crashes
Therefore, 51 crashes per year may occur before corrective action must be sought.
