2011-2013 Traffic Crash Report
Attachment 5A AKRON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY MEMORANDUM TO: Policy Committee Technical Advisory Committee Citizens Involvement Committee FROM: AMATS Staff RE: Traffic Crashes 2011-2013 Technical Memorandum DATE: September 10, 2014 The attached Traffic Crashes 2011-2013 technical memorandum has been updated from previous versions and is now divided into two sections. The first section is location oriented and similar to previous crash memos. All crashes that occurred on non-freeway roadways in the AMATS study area were analyzed. All the segments and intersections that meet the minimum criteria of ten or more crashes and a crash rate of one or more within the three-year period being studied are listed. This is also the minimum criterion required for a project to be considered for funding under ODOT’s Highway Safety Program. The crash locations are ranked by a composite score. The composite score is derived from where the location ranks according to number of crashes, crash rate, and severity. Tables one and two list all the segments and intersections according to their composite score. The second section of the crash memo focuses on bicycle and pedestrian crashes. These crashes tend to occur more randomly and are usually not concentrated at specific locations. Therefore this section of the memo is trend oriented. It highlights some of the characteristics of all the bicycle crashes and all the pedestrian crashes. The Staff requests that the attached technical memorandum be approved by motion as documentation of work completed. Once this memorandum has been approved, local governments may use it as an initial step in the process of applying for Highway Safety Program funds through ODOT or planning bicycle and pedestrian improvements. More information about crashes, including bicycle and pedestrian, at any specific location or for any community can be requested. TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM TRAFFIC CRASHES 2011-2013 September 2014 Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study 806 CitiCenter Bldg./146 S. High St./Akron, Ohio 44308-1423 Phone: (330) 375-2436 FAX: (330) 375-2275 This report was prepared by the Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (AMATS) in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Ohio Department of Transportation, and the Village, City and County governments of Portage and Summit Counties and Chippewa and Milton Township in Wayne County. The contents of this report reflect the views of AMATS, which is responsible for the facts and accuracy of the data presented herein. The contents do not necessarily reflect the official view and policies of the Ohio and/or U.S. Department of Transportation. This report does not constitute a standard, specification or regulation. Traffic Crashes 2011 - 2013 Section 1: All Crashes Overview Over the past decade the number of crashes and injuries has been steadily declining in the AMATS area and statewide. However over the past three years that this memo covers the number has remained nearly steady. It should be noted that there have been two changes that have affected the total number of crashes being analyzed. • • Beginning in 2013, police agencies do not have to report crashes where there are no injuries and the damage to a vehicle is less than $1,000. The addition of Milton Township and the city of Rittman to the AMATS study area. This new study area added 441 additional crashes over the three year period. Between the years of 2011 and 2013, AMATS extracted 54,838 records from the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS). Crashes that do not relate to the characteristics of the roadway are removed. • • 2,664 animal related crashes 813 construction zone crashes The remaining 51,361 crashes were then separated into those that occur on roadway sections, intersections, and freeways. • • • 19,291 roadway section crashes 23,666 intersection crashes 8,404 freeway related crashes. The following graph shows the number of crashes and injuries (with animal and construction zone removed) in the AMATS area since 2002. 23,117 22,844 22,273 20,812 18,853 19,394 This Report 18,644 16,454 16,929 17,143 16,778 17,440 All Crashes 6,292 2002 6,001 2003 Injury Crashes 5,658 2004 5,448 2005 4,992 4,987 4,885 2006 2007 2008 4,126 4,248 4,394 4,347 4,510 2009 2010 2011* 2012 2013 * In 2011 Milton Twp and Rittman crash data was added 1 Methodology The first step in producing a list of high crash roadway sections and intersections is identifying the locations that meet the minimum thresholds based on number of crashes. . • The criteria for roadway sections is 10 or more crashes per mile per year. • The criteria for intersections is 10 or more crashes in the three-year period. Once this initial group of high crash locations is identified a crash rate is calculated. The crash rate takes into account the average daily traffic volume. For example, ten crashes per year at a location that averages 1,000 vehicles per day has a worse crash rate than ten crashes per year at a location that averages 30,000 vehicles per day. The formula is given in the Appendix. • A minimum crash rate of 1.0 is required for a roadway section or an intersection to be included in the list of high crash locations. Next the severity index is calculated for locations that meet the minimum number of crashes and crash rate. The severity index is a ratio of how many fatal and injury crashes happen compared to total crashes. This measure is useful when determining which locations should have priority in order to not only reduce crashes but to also reduce fatalities and injuries. The formula is given in the Appendix. Finally a composite score is calculated based on how a location scores according to number of crashes, crash rate and severity index. This score defines the final rank of the location. High Crash Sections A section is defined as a length of roadway between two logical termini such as an intersection with another roadway. The length of a section is usually between 0.5 miles in an urban area to a maximum of 4.0 miles in a rural area. All roads in the AMATS area were considered, including those that are not federally classified. • AMATS has identified 124 high crash roadway sections. • Table 1 lists the 124 high-crash roadway sections ranked by composite score. Map 1 shows the location of the top 50 high-crash sections. High Crash Intersections Crashes that occur within a radius of 0.05 miles (260 feet) from the center of an intersection and involve at least two vehicles are considered an intersection related crash. All intersections in the AMATS area were considered, including those that were not federally classified. • AMATS has identified 271 intersections that have a minimum of 10 crashes and a crash rate of one or more over the three-year period. • Table 2 lists the 271 high-crash intersections ranked by composite score. Map 2 shows the location of the top 50 high-crash intersections. 2 High Crash Freeway Locations The analysis of freeway crashes in the AMATS area is done by the central office of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) in Columbus. • A freeway is defined as a limited access divided highway. This includes all state routes with interstate characteristics such as SR 8 and SR 21. ODOT’s analysis of freeways is done using methodology from the recently released Highway Safety Manual. The freeway system is divided into rural and urban and is analyzed by examining segments that are one-tenth of a mile long. There were 83 freeway locations in the AMATS area that had a “higher than predicted crash frequency”. ODOT only considers the top 50 rural and top 50 urban locations statewide for further study. • Only eight freeway locations in the AMATS area appeared on the top 50 lists and four of those were on the Ohio Turnpike. The other four are shown on the map below along with their statewide rank. 3 Section 2: Bicycle and Pedestrian Crashes Overview As biking and walking becomes a more popular and viable means of transportation, there is growing concern about the safety of bike riders and pedestrians. Determining how and where these incidents occur can help plan for future bike lanes, sidewalks, lighting, and educational outreach. Bike and pedestrian related crashes tend to happen more randomly and usually do not have the characteristic of being concentrated at specific locations like other vehicular crashes. Because of this it is sometimes more practical to make improvements system wide or to a corridor rather than to a specific location. The Ohio Revised Code considers a bicycle a slow moving vehicle and generally speaking is subject to the same laws and responsibilities as a motor vehicle. Bike riders can be issued a citation if they are guilty of breaking laws. Local governments have the ability to make some of their own rules and laws which may be inconsistent between communities. Education is an important tool to help curb bike and pedestrian related crashes. Many bike riders and pedestrians, especially those under the driving age, may not be aware of the rules that they must observe. Bike and pedestrian related crashes have a high percentage of injuries. • Out of the 349 bicycle related crashes that occurred between 2011 and 2013, 281 or nearly 80% of them resulted in an injury and two of them in a fatality. • There were 488 pedestrian related crashes in this same time period with 430 or 88% of them resulting in an injury and 13 of them in a fatality. By comparison slightly over 25% of all vehicular crashes for the same three year period resulted in an injury. Methodology The bicycle or pedestrian crashes were already part of the data that was extracted from the Ohio Department of Public Safety for the first section of this memo. The bicycle and pedestrian crashes were pulled from the data and a complete police report was downloaded for each crash. The police report was important because it showed a crash diagram and description of what happened. Data from the police reports was compiled and used to identify trends and patterns. The following pages highlight some of the trends for bicycle and pedestrian related crashes. 4 Bicycle Related Crashes Bicycle Related Crashes by Year 119 123 117 111 113 113 105 104 89 89 83 88 81 88 Bike Related Crashes Injuries Fatalities 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Bicycle related crashes fluctuate up and down slightly over the years. The number of crashes and injuries were steady between 2011 and 2012 and then were up some in 2013. Between 2011 and 2013 there were 349 bicycle related crashes with 281 injuries and two fatalities. Ages of Bike Riders Involved 160 144 140 120 100 80 60 51 42 41 40 30 27 12 20 3 0 10 and under 11‐20 21‐30 31‐40 41‐50 51‐60 61‐70 Not Given The 11-20 age group was involved in the most incidents. A more detailed look at that age group revealed that 12 year olds were in 22 incidents, the most of any single age. 5 Location 250 238 30 200 Fault Unknown Bicyclist at Fault 150 Vehicle at Fault 130 100 50 68 5 44 41 22 8 19 17 Non‐intersection Driveway 78 0 Intersection Most bicycle related crashes occur at intersections (nearly 69%). Bicycle riders are at fault in nearly 55% of the incidents. Sometimes bike riders, especially younger ones, do not obey stop signs and traffic signals. Often a vehicle does not see a bicycle and turns into it. Many times a driver is not expecting a bicycle in the crosswalk or misjudges its speed. If a bicycle rider is biking against traffic a driver may not look that direction when turning. Fault/Citation 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 190 Crashes 117 Citation Issued 43 44 Bike Rider 67 2 Vehicle Driver Fault Unknown It is important to distinguish between fault and citation. In most cases one of the units is at fault for causing a crash. A citation is a ticket issued by the police officer if they felt the unit at fault actually broke a law. The graph above shows that in 190 or 54% of the incidents the bike rider was at fault but most of the time they were not issued a citation. Sometimes this was because they were a minor or didn’t actually break any written laws. By comparison a higher percentage of drivers, nearly 58%, were cited for an improper action when they were at fault. Sometimes the fault was hard to determine because one of the units left the scene or the report was filed at the police station. 6 Primary Types of Bicycle Related Crashes and Fault The following graph shows the types of bicycle related crashes that occurred and who was considered at fault according to the police reports. Regardless of fault, two actions that contributed to many of the bike related crashes was riding against traffic (100 crashes) and riding on the sidewalk (113 crashes). Bike crossed in front of vehicle in crosswalk Bike crossed/turned in front of vehicle* 59 30 13 16 4 49 Bike hit side of vehicle* 4 43 Bike hit by vehicle entering/exiting drive/street 29 8 11 Bike ran stop sign/red light, hit side of vehicle 22 22 Vehicle hit bike from behind 1 4 48 28 28 Bike ran stop sign/red light, hit by vehicle 6 18 13 Bike Rider at Fault Fault Unknown Vehicle sideswiped bike Vehicle turned left in front of bike 12 1 3 8 Vehicle ran stop sign.red light and hit bike 8 2 14 4 8 Head on with vehicle 5 1 Vehicle and bike turned into each other 2 2 4 3 15 13 2 Miscellaneous Bike sideswiped vehicle 16 6 3 * Occurred at intersections, segments, and driveways 7 Vehicle at Fault 53 53 Pedestrian Related Crashes Pedestrian Related Crashes by Year 178 170 160 151 122 147 149 127 125 157 153 134 136 Pedestrian Crashes Injuries 104 Fatalities 6 5 8 5 6 5 2 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Similar to bike related crashes, the number of pedestrian related crashes are up and down slightly over the years. There was a small decrease between 2011 and 2012 with barely any change between 2012 and 2013. Between 2011 and 2013 there were 488 pedestrian related crashes with 430 injuries and 13 fatalities. Ages of Pedestrians Involved 140 129 120 100 90 80 67 53 60 40 60 39 27 16 20 7 0 10 and under 11‐20 21‐30 31‐40 41‐50 51‐60 61‐70 71 and over Not Given The 11-20 age group was again involved in the most incidents. A closer look at the 11-20 age group revealed that 17 year olds and 19 year olds tied for most incidents with 18 each. 8 Location 250 200 227 225 41 50 Fault Unknown 51 150 Pedestrian at Fault 108 Vehicle at Fault 100 126 50 36 10 11 15 76 0 Mid‐Block Intersection Driveway Pedestrian crashes are almost evenly split between intersections and mid-block. Pedestrians are at fault in most mid-block crashes are while vehicles are at fault in most intersection crashes. Fault 217 170 101 Crashes Citation Issued 120 60 14 Vehicle Driver Pedestrian Fault Unknown The vehicle driver was at fault in 217 or 44% of the pedestrian related crashes. A citation was issued to the driver 55% of the time. The pedestrian was at fault in 170 or 35% of the crashes and received a citation 35% of the time. The most common action by a pedestrian was darting out in front of a vehicle. In 21% of the crashes the fault was hard to determine because either the vehicle or pedestrian left the scene or witnesses gave conflicting stories. Nearly 38% of the pedestrian related crashes occurred in dark conditions and many times the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing. 9 Primary Types of Pedestrian Related Crashes and Fault The following graph shows the types of pedestrian a related crash that occurred and who was considered at fault according to the police reports. Hit ped crossing street at intersection Hit ped crossing street mid-block Hit ped walking or running on roadway Hit ped while entering/exiting driveway/parking lot Miscellaneous Vehicle departed roadway and hit pedestrian Hit ped at disabled vehicle 7 13 89 13 15 8 8 17 7 11 11 16 117 43 45 19 109 47 33 29 16 Pedestrian at Fault 12 Fault Unknown 12 Vehicle at Fault Hit ped standing in roadway 525 12 Insufficient info 101 11 Hit ped working in roadway 2 6 8 Hit ped on skateboard/rollerblades 33 6 10 205 Summary AMATS is committed to following a planning process that recognizes the importance of safety. This is accomplished by incorporating the results of safety studies into the development of transportation recommendations for the Regional Transportation Plan and used as evaluation criteria for selecting projects for funding. The Traffic Crashes 2011-2013 technical memorandum was developed to further this goal by identifying locations and trends. • The total number of crashes (without animal and construction zone crashes) remained nearly the same in 2011 and 2012 and increased slightly in 2013. • The locations identified in this technical memorandum meet the minimum criteria that ODOT has established to define a high-crash location. • The locations listed in this memorandum may be used by a community as a first step in the process of applying for federal Highway Safety Program funding through ODOT. The Ohio Revised Code considers a bicycle a slow moving vehicle and generally speaking is subject to the same laws and responsibilities as a motor vehicle. Many drivers are not used to sharing the road with bike riders. And as biking gains momentum and cyclists start using roads more, the potential for vehicle/bike conflicts increase. Education, for bike riders, pedestrians, and drivers could have a significant impact on safety as these transportation alternatives become popular. Younger bike riders and pedestrians are more likely to be involved in an accident. Many times they are not aware of rules they should be following. Although a bike rider may feel safer on a sidewalk, in reality it may actually be more dangerous because drivers are not expecting a cyclist to be there. Another issue is cyclists riding against traffic. The opposite direction rule may apply to pedestrians but not bike riders. Often a driver does not expect a bike to be coming from the opposite direction. 11 Table 1 HIGH CRASH ROADWAY SECTIONS RANKED BY COMPOSITE SCORE 2011-2013 12 Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 33 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 41 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 Roadway Section M.L.

Bicyclists should be treated like any other slow-moving vehicle: they should only be passed when there are no oncoming cars and sight lines are clear. When passing a bicyclist, ensure there is a minimum of 3 feet between your car and the bicycle. Beware of bicyclists who might be in your blind spot or are otherwise difficult to see. Exercise extra caution when approaching children on bikes and at multi-use path crossings. Safety Tips for Bike Riders • • • • • • Bicyclists are required to follow the same rules of the road as other drivers: stop at stop signs and red lights, and ride in the same direction as other traffic. Bicyclists should position themselves at least a few feet from the curb, and should especially avoid riding in the gutter. When parked cars are present, steer clear of the “door zone”. Bicyclists should not weave in and out of traffic or pass queued traffic at a stop sign or traffic light, unless a bike lane is provided. In most cases, bicyclists should not ride on sidewalks. This is especially important in urban areas, as motorists are less likely to see bicyclists behind parked cars, street trees, and other obstacles. Bicyclists should yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and on multi-use paths and sidewalks (where sidewalk riding is permitted). Bicyclists can promote safe interactions with motorists by being courteous yet assertive. Examples include riding single file or pulling over when cars are backed up behind your group, using hand signals and making eye contact, and using the full lane when it is unsafe for cars to pass. Safety Tips for Drivers Encountering Pedestrians • • • Drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians crossing in marked or unmarked crosswalks (there is technically a crosswalk at every street or road intersection, even if it’s not marked). At signals, drivers must yield to pedestrians when the WALK signal is displayed. Distracted driving is an increasingly common cause of crashes and poses particular concerns for pedestrians, who are often less visible and more susceptible to injury than other motorists. Safety Tips for Pedestrians • • • • • • • Pedestrians must cross at intersections or midblock crosswalks. Pedestrians must obey WALK/DON’T WALK signals where provided, and otherwise cross with the green light. A flashing DON’T WALK signal indicates that it is too late to begin crossing, but that if already in the crosswalk, you should continue walking to the other side. Pedestrian distraction is just as dangerous as driver distraction. Pedestrians should turn off their handheld devices, mp3 players, etc. when crossing the street or walking in busy areas. Pedestrians generally should not assume that they are visible to drivers, or that drivers will follow the rules of the road. Pedestrians should give drivers plenty of time to stop before entering a crosswalk. When a sidewalk is not available, pedestrians should walk facing traffic. At night, pedestrians should wear reflective clothing and also consider using flashing lights. 24
