5. Calculate the changes in expected average crash frequency for
a. Run off the road, Head on and sideswipe crashes
b. Total crashes
CMF*number of crashes per year before treatment = expected average crash frequency per
year with treatment
We will evaluate a 6 mile segment of a two-lane rural highway segment using the CMFs in Part D of the
HSM.
AADT for year 2008=5,494 vpd.
-Currently the segment has: 11-feet lanes and 4-feet paved shoulders
*Proposed is: 10-feet lanes and 5-feet paved shoulders and install centerline rumble strips.
-For this example, we need to identify and determine the CMFs to adjust for the differences in lane width,
shoulder width and install centerline rumble strips.
Proportion of impacted crashes:
5 . Calculate the changes in expected average
