Abstract:This Manual is intended to encourage greater use of accident records and the development of additional uses for accident prevention purposes. The use of records of past accidents to guide future accident prevention work is based upon the generally accepted premise that accidents are caused by specific conditions and acts and that, unless altered by safety activities, those same conditions and acts will continue to cause traffic accidents. If accident prevention efforts are spread over all highways, those which are safe as well as those which are hazardous, and are extended to all persons, those who are safe as well as those who commit unsafe acts, the effectiveness of the accident prevention work will be diluted and much effort lost. With limited facilities for accident prevention, it is vital that the strongest efforts be directed at the conditions and persons most in need of correction.
