In Washington State, priority programming for evaluating accident prevention and mitigation (safety improvement) involves analysis of roadside features, but the effects that such features have on the frequency and severity of accidents is not well understood. This study investigated the relationships among roadway geometry, roadside characteristics, and run-off-roadway accident frequency and severity to provide a basis for identifying cost-effective ways to improve highway designs that will reduce the probability of vehicles leaving the roadway and the severity of accidents when they do.
