• Abstract:
  Accident information is an important factor from which to work towards the regional Transportation System Management (TSM) objective of improving the safety of the local transportation system. The 1993 Quad City Intersection Traffic Accident Report provides a source of accident information through which state and local officials may examine and respond to changing traffic conditions in the urbanized area. This report identifies and analyzes hazardous intersections in the Iowa and Illinois Quad City Urbanized Area. The ten highest ranked intersections in each state were identified for 1993 through an evaluation process based on accident frequency, severity and rate. A tie in ranking in the Iowa Quad cities resulted in eleven intersections being included in the top list. These twenty-one locations are further analyzed using collision diagrams, accident history, collision types, and pertinent conditions. The year 1993 marked the first time that the same $500 property damage or any personal injury criterion was used by both Illinois and Iowa in accident reporting. This made it possible to rank accident locations for the entire Quad City Area. The appendices included at the end of this study report provide cost estimates for typical intersection improvements and suggestions for possible cause and countermeasures for the prevailing problems at critical locations.
