Abstract:Centerline rumble strips are used by various states as a low-cost countermeasure for mitigating cross-over crashes on two-way highways. This study performs a safety impact evaluation using an empirical Bayesian analysis. The researchers obtained a crash modification factor of 0.58, indicating a 42% reduction in crashes involving centerline crossings associated with the installation of centerline rumble strips. The sample size of fatal and injury crashes was too small to obtain separate crash modification factors for fatal crashes and injury crashes. The favorable crash modification factor (0.58) found in this study supports wider use of centerline rumble strips as a safety measure to address crashes involving vehicles that cross the centerline of the roadway.
