A detailed analysis was conducted for a random sample of 150 fatal crashes which occurred on a two-lane rural road. A site visit was made to each crash location with data obtained and analyzed. Recommendations were made for countermeasures to reduce the number and severity of crashes on this type of roadway. The countermeasures were divided into the general categories of roadway and non-roadway with the non-roadway divided into the areas of legislation, enforcement, and education training. The roadway countermeasures did not include those involving roadway reconstruction. A recommendation was made that several of the countermeasures could be combined as part of a typical resurfacing project. The potential effectiveness of these countermeasures in preventing the crashes their severity was evaluated.
