Abstract:This report documents the results of a research project to support CDOT in the area of Safety
Performance Function (SPF) development. The project involved collecting data and developing SPFs for
ramp-freeway merge zones categorized as isolated, non-isolated and weave. For each of these three
categories, data for the period 2007 to 2011 were collected at sites selected to ensure statewide
geographical representation and coverage of the range of traffic volume and other variables in each
category. The development of SPFs for the three categories of ramp-freeway merge zones was
successful. Separate SPFs were developed for Total, fatal+injury (FI) and Property Damage Only (PDO)
crashes.
Implementation
CDOT can use the developed SPFs immediately to apply state-of-the-art methodologies for road safety
management activities.
