Process and Methodology This section summarizes the process and methodology used to perform the safety assessment, develop safety improvement project recommendations, and analyze the expected benefits and costs of proposed improvements. Road Safety Assessment
The road safety assessment for the 10 corridors included field data collection, corridor context review, and crash data analyses. Field Data Collection During the week of December 2 nd , 2024, project team members conducted field observations of the corridors to collect data on their existing infrastructure, operations, and safety issues. These observations were performed on foot, with team members spending multiple hours examining each individual corridor and recording findings. This fieldwork helped the team to better understand the existing conditions of each corridor and to ensure recommendations of tailored safety countermeasures. The project team collected data via mobile devices (phones and iPads) using the Fulcrum survey app ( Figure 2 ). This provided the ability to review crash data on the map and compare them to conditions observed in the field. Field notes and photos were also logged in
