The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and performance of roadway inventory methods in identifying hazardous road locations on rural secondary highways. The Tennessee Department of Transportation currently uses a collision-based method to identify possible hazardous locations for possible safety improvements. The roadway inventory-based methods have the desirable property of being proactive, as opposed to the reactive collision-based methods, in that they can identify potentially dangerous locations before crashes occur.
