For additional detail on the Road Safety Assessments and recommended improvements for specific corridors, please refer to Appendix G – Corridor Road Safety Assessment .
Intersection Prioritization Similar to corridors, intersections were prioritized to identify High Injury Intersections (HIIs) in order to guide investment in targeted safety improvements where they are most needed. The High Injury Intersection (HII) analysis began with a comprehensive review of all intersections within the City of Fort Worth and all intersection-related crashes. A detailed methodology for assigning crashes to specific intersections is provided in Appendix B - State of Safety Report . Each intersection was assigned a severity-weighted score, calculated separately for five modes of travel:
Pedestrian
•
Bicyclist
•
Motorcyclist
•
Motor vehicle
•
Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)
•
The following table summarizes the injury severity weights used in the scoring.
Table 2. Crash weighting by injury severity
Severity
Description
Weight
K
Fatal injury
3
A
Suspected serious injury
3
B
Suspected minor injury
2
C
Possible injury
1
O
Not injured
0
These modes and severity weights align with the methodology used in the High Injury Network (HIN) analysis and the descriptive statistics previously developed. For more on how modes were assigned to crashes, refer to Appendix B - State of Safety Report.
