"One-Way" To Look At Crashes
Presentation Abstract
This presentation will demonstrate how crash and moving violation data is gathered and analyzed for this South Georgia community. The analysis of both intersection and mid-block collisions help reveal some of the secret causes of traffic collisions. Everything from land uses and commercial re-development to sidewalk conditions are examined for their potential to contribute to a crash. The relationship of non-crash producing ticketed violations to crash locations is another revealing piece in the puzzle of car crashes. Partially because of the outcome of this analysis, traffic engineers are considering a “one-way pair” through the city. This presentation also demonstrates a modified ArcScene 3D animation that is now downloadable to help generate better understanding of the need for such a radical change in traffic flow.
