Corridor Context Review Based on field observations and desktop review, the project team examined the characterization of each corridor to establish a baseline roadway typology. Characteristics such as location, extent, surrounding land uses, roadway width, number of lanes, presence of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and speed limit were considered. Relevant data such as AADT along the corridor were also collected. A review of existing plans and programs was performed to identify any proposed projects along the corridors that should be factored into the safety improvement recommendations. A summary graphic with each corridor’s context is provided in the Corridor Recommendations sections. Crash Data Analysis The same crash data used to develop the Fort Worth State of Safety Report and the HIN were collected for each corridor. This included crashes identified as associated with each segment and intersections along the corridor. For methodology on how crashes are joined with roadway segments or intersections, please refer to Appendix B: The State of Safety Report . The project team examined the number and distribution of crashes along the corridor, focusing on key attributes to help identify patterns of crashes as well as potential causes, including:
Crash locations
•
Crash mode
•
Crash severity
•
Crash collision manner
•
Crash contributing factor
•
Time of day
•
Lighting conditions
•
Speed limit
•
Crash locations were evaluated to determine whether they occurred mid-block or in the influence area of an intersection. The intersections where the most crashes occurred are illustrated with a heat map. Crash modes, including motor vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian were evaluated to inform mode-specific countermeasure selection.
