Abstract:

The Missouri HAL manual is used to identify, analyze, and correct high crash locations, and has not been updated since ; 1999. This new edition brings the manual up to date, while incorporating the methodology of the national Highway Safety ; Manual (HSM). This 4 ; th edition represents a complete re-working of all existing chapters of the manual. The changes are ; both stylistic and substantive. A contemporary book-style stylesheet was used to improve the appearance of figures, tables, ; headings, and labels. Even the title of the manual was changed from HAL (Identification, Analysis, and Correction of ; High-Crash Locations) to S-HAL (Safety Handbook for Locals) in order to reflect current trends in highway safety. The ; section on countermeasures has been improved significantly through the incorporation of the HSM approach to analyzing ; countermeasure effectiveness. Further, the manual now incorporates a partnership-based approach to safety. This edition ; takes full advantage of the availability of safety information, becoming the gateway for many additional sources.
