APPENDIX D

ACCIDENT FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS
FOR SELECTED INTERCHANGE ELEMENTS



 

This appendix presents a series of accident distribution plots for camp segmens, ramps, speed-change lanes, and combinations thereof. These include:

In addition, 1-year accident (total and fatal and injury multiple-vehicle accidents) for the 551 entire ramps and the 737 ramp proper segments studied in this report are presented in figures 16 and 17, respectively, comparing the 3 years of accident data for 1993 through 1995.
