Assessing Safety Performance on Urban and Suburban Roadways of Lower Functional Classification: An Evaluation of Minor Arterial and Collector Roadway Segments
Abstract:Previous research of urban roadway safety performance has generally focused on roadways of high functional classifications, such as principal arterials. However, roadways with lower functional classifications, including minor arterials and collectors, typically possess characteristics that differ from those of higher roadway classes. Therefore, assumptions made on the general effect of the predictor variables from typical safety performance functions may not apply to lower roadway classes. To address these kno… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
