Abstract:The process of identifying, analyzing, and treating roadway safety problems on local and rural roads relies heavily on the availability of road safety data. Crash reports completed by law enforcement officers are combined with roadway characteristic and traffic volume data gathered by traffic engineering or public works staff to identify crash history, analyze risk factors, establish needs, and evaluate treatments. Law enforcement and engineering agencies need to work together closely to understand the requirements for safety data and the importance of this information in developing plans and programs to treat road safety issues. This document highlights the types of information required, the application of this information, and additional resources that can be consulted by local and rural road owners to improve safety data for their agency.
