• Abstract:
  Rural roads account for 90.3% of the 140,476 total centerline miles of roadways ; in Kansas. In recent years, rural fatal crashes have accounted for about 66% ; of all fatal crashes. The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides models and ; methodologies for analyzing the safety of various types of highways. Predictive ; methods in the HSM were developed based on national trends and data from ; sample states throughout the United States. However, these methodologies ; are of limited use if they are not calibrated for individual jurisdictions or local ; conditions.
