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.
