• Abstract:
  This project contributes to the Washington State Strategic Highway Safety Plan, whose goals are ; to achieve zero road fatality and serious injury by 2030 and to reduce the number of pedestrians and ; bicyclists involved in motor-vehicle collisions on state highways. The study focused on “main street ; highways” (MSHs), which are stretches of State Routes that also act as main streets for the local ; populations. This report covers Part II of the study, which (1) identified hotspots of pedestrian and ; bicyclist collisions, and (2) developed models for estimating socio-economic and environmental ; predictors of collision locations. ; Collision hotspots were derived from Planar and novel Network Kernel Density Estimation ; (KDE) methods. Case-control and negative binomial models showed that high risk pedestrian and ; bicyclist collision locations were significantly associated with collisions occurring (1) at street and ; road intersections (versus mid-blocks); (2) on wider roads; (3) on roads with bicycle lanes; (4) in ; low income and non-white neighborhoods.
