This study investigates the safety performance of suburban-type roads (STRs), a category of medium-speed arterial roads characterized by high vehicular traffic and limited pedestrian and cyclist mobility. Such roadways present unique challenges in road safety, often overlooked in traditional road design focused predominantly on driver needs. By employing a correlated random parameter ordered probit model to analyze police-reported crash severity data from STRs, this research uncovers critical insights into the factors influencing crash injury severities on these roads. Our findings highlight the nuanced impact of various dimensions, such as road design, traffic volume, and environmental conditions, on STR safety; the results offer a detailed understanding of crash contexts on STRs and point toward targeted interventions for enhancing road safety. These interventions include the potential redesign of roadways to accommodate diverse user needs and the implementation of speed regulation measures tailored to specific road characteristics. This research contributes significantly to the existing body of knowledge on suburban road safety, providing evidence-based recommendations for improving the overall safety of these increasingly prevalent road types. The implications of these findings are far-reaching, offering a foundation for future studies to explore diverse methodologies in road safety analysis and to extend this research to other geographic contexts.
