Abstract:Intersection safety is a serious problem in the United States, and addressing this problem is one of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA} top priorities. In 2001, there were nearly 3 million intersection related crashes, accounting for more than 40 percent of all crashes in the United States. This same year, intersection fatalities rose to 8,876, or 21 percent of all traffic fatalities. In addition, approximately 50 percent, or 1.5 million, of all injury crashes occurred at intersections. Each year, side impact crashes cause more than one-third of all vehicle occupant deaths. This type of collision occurs most frequently at intersections.
