Abstract:To examine the relationship of ramp design to truck accident rates, this paper presents an analysis of truck accidents in Washington State, plus a comparison to limited data from Colorado and California. The authors group freeway truck accidents by ramp type, accident type, and by four conflict areas of each merge or diverge ramp. They then compare these groups on the basis of truck accidents per location and per truck-mile of travel.
