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:
- Ramp proper segments, off-ramps only (rear-end accidents exluded from frequency distributions)
in figure 9.
- Speed-change lanes (total and fatal and injury multiple-vehicle accidents) in figure 11.
- Entire ramps, off-ramps only (rear-end accidnets excluded from frequency distributions)
figure 10.
- Entire ramps plus adjacent speed-change lane (total and fatal and injury multiple-vehicle
accidents) in figure 12.
- Urban diamond off-ramps (total and fatal and injury multiple-vehicle accidents) in figure 13.
- Urban parclo and free-flow loops off-ramps (total and fatal and injury multiple-vehicle accidents) in figure 14.
- Urban outer connection off-ramps (total and fatal and injury multiple-vehicle accidents) in figure 15.
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.
