The study reported herein focuses on assessing the effects and contributions of pavement surface condition parameters including roughness, rut depth and skid resistance on crash frequencies and rates at signalised intersections. The assessment has been performed using graphical trend analysis and negative binomial regression. For each signalised intersection in the sample, condition data are collected for the year before and after the year of surface treatment. Crash data, however, are collected for a minimum of 3 and maximum of 5 years before and after treatment years. Analyses results show that before treatment, light condition (day/night), road surface moisture condition (wet/dry) and skid resistance are the significant contributors to crash occurrence. For after-treatment; light condition, road surface moisture condition and the interaction between roughness and traffic volume are the significant contributors. The study aim and approach are presented herein together with a discussion of the main findings.
