Abstract:

Today, states have enacted laws to ensure that teen drivers are more skilled and drive safely. The result is ; fewer accidents. However, in previous research, when teen crashes were mapped, certain streets and areas ; appeared to have more accidents than other areas. The goal of this research is to investigate the “hot spot” ; locations where teens have accidents and to determine important factors contributing to the concentration ; of accidents. This research will benefit planners and engineers and help them determine if additional ; changes are needed at locations with high teen crashes to make these areas safer.
