2009 TOP CRASH LOCATIONS REPORT AUGUST 2011 Devil I L PillrlLk. Governor nmottlY P Murray Lt Governor Jeffrey B Mullan. Secre tmy [,. CEO Frank DeP,lQl'l AC [lng Adnllnl Slr ator ~lJlql.~e.Q[ I ~lghWay ~ Division Dear Reader: Enclosed is MassDOT Highway Division's edition of the 2009 Top Crash Locations Report, which may be used to evaluate top crash intersection locations and top crash pedestrian and bicycle locations in order to improve the safety of our roadway system. This report, like last year's report, focuses on intersection locations and is based on crashes entered into the Registry of Motor Vehicles' Crash Data System (CDS). The 2009 Report contains the identification of top bicycle-motor vehicle and pedestrian-motor vehicle crash locations. This information is also available by contacting your Regional Planning Agency and MassDOT Highway District Traffic Engineer. In an effort to reduce injury and fatal crashes, MassDOT, in cooperation with a variety of public and private safety stakeholders, is in the process of updating the Massachusetts Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). To view the original SHSP (from 2006), download a copy of the Plan or to learn more about it, go to the MassDOT Highway Division Traffic Engineering an d Safety w ebsite. The Safety Plan identifies the State's key safety needs and can be used to guide investment decisions to achieve significant reductions in highway fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads based upon a data-driven process. This dataset may be used as a screening tool to evaluate locations and make changes to improve the safety of our roadway system. The 2009 Top Crash Locations Report is one of the tools for the statewide Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to identify safety projects using a data-driven process. Please note that this report is based only on crash records that have been entered into the statewide crash system and have been geocoded to a specific location. Although Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90 § 26 and 29 require drivers and police departments to file crash reports that exceed specific thresholds, this is not always the case. Furthermore, not all crashes submitted to the Registry of Motor Vehicles get entered into the crash system. Improving the crash reporting system and the quality of the data will help to focus resources where they are most needed. I am convinced that we can make great strides in improving safety on Massachusetts roadways for all users. If you have questions, please contact Neil Boudreau, State Traffic Engineer at (617) 973-821 I. Sincerely, Frank DePaola, P.E.

The primary function is to provide a foundation for developing safety improvement projects. The Top High Crash Locations Report is one of the tools used in this process. Previously, MassDOT Highway Division, with the assistance from Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS), produced a Top 1000 Highway Crash Locations Report which included all types of locations (interchanges, intersections and rotaries). Three years ago, MassDOT Highway Division developed a new report type where the locations identified were crash clusters at intersections (no grade separated locations and no locations with weaving sections). Beginning two years ago, the report also included the top bicycle and pedestrian clusters. This year, MassDOT Highway Division has also prepared a Top High Crash Locations Report which includes the top 200 high crash intersection locations using crash data from 2007-2009 and also includes the weighted (by crash severity) highest frequency bicycle-motor vehicle and pedestrian-motor vehicle crash locations for 2002­ 2009. The RMV obtains crash data from State and local police reports and from motor vehicle operators (motorists) who are involved in crashes. The RMV Crash Records Section collects, enters and maintains crash data records, which are the source of the MassDOT Highway Division crash data. To produce this high crash locations listing, MassDOT Highway Division, with the assistance of Geonetics, has developed an automated procedure for processing, standardizing, matching and aggregating the crash data by geographical location using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools and procedures. Generally, the geocoding rate (the rate at which crashes can be located to a specific geographical point) for crashes between 2007 and 2009 is nearly 89%. However, the geocoding rate is not uniform for all crashes or for all types of crash locations. Some crashes may be more difficult to geocode because of multiple intersections between the same roadway names within a community, mis-entry of location information on the crash report form or a host of other reasons. The number of crashes contained within the RMV crash system has changed dramatically due to a shift in data entry. General the crash system is comprised of crash reports from police and operators (drivers). The number of operator reports entered into the statewide crash system has declined dramatically. The table below illustrates the change in data entry at the RMV. Reporting Entity Operator Local police Other State police TOTAL 2005 40,098 102,698 353 14,935 158,084 2006 40,533 94,602 201 14,524 149,860 2007 34,348 95,400 153 14,608 144,509 2008 26,715 93,649 198 15,822 136,384 2009 9,303 92,819 123 15,519 117,764 Furthermore, the reporting levels of some communities have changed dramatically between the old reporting format (pre-2002) and the new format and as communities move from submitting on paper to submitting electronically (details on reporting level by community are available upon request). Obviously, these reporting changes significantly impact the results of the Top High Crash Locations Report. Due to the many difficulties in obtaining precise, useable crash location data and many issues involved in variations in crash reporting rates by some jurisdictions, this report should be used as a general purpose screening tool rather than as a precise listing of crash frequencies by individual locations. Furthermore, because of the spatial nature of the crash clusters, it is imperative to view the crash clusters spatially and notjust rely on the tabular naming convention to understand the crash cluster locations. Methodology - Intersection Locations The intersection crash cluster analysis method, developed by Geonetics for MassDOT, is a comprehensive method designed to locate crash clusters. At the heart of the method is a 25 meter (82 ft.) fixed search distance around each crash. In basic terms, this radius controls how far the application will search for adjacent crashes. Using a 25 meter radius, the analysis method found nearby crashes and merged their areas together, thus creating clusters. If two distinct clusters are found to share a common crash, the two clusters are merged into a single cluster. This method of search-and-merge results in a set of many distinct clusters of different sizes and shapes The application then stores these clusters to the GIS output file, along with the count of crashes within the cluster. The clusters were then ranked by the number of Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) crashes contained within their boundaries. As in previous Top Crash Lists, fatal crashes are weighted by 10, injury crashes are weighted by 5 and property damage only or non­ reported is weighted by 1. These are the same weights that were used to generate the previous Top 1000 High Crash Locations Report using crash data from the previous crash system. The crashes were then named based on the highest functional classification roadway within the cluster, followed by the roadway with the second highest functional classification. In instances where there were two roadways with the identical classification, the first street name selected was the street with the longest segment contained within the cluster. Some cluster naming was modified to insert the name of a private way or site drive, rather than leaving it as unnamed. Note that the area encompassing the crash cluster may cover a larger area than just the intersection. The module to automatically determine whether the location was an intersection, rotary, interchange or other type of facility has not yet been developed. Therefore, a review of each location was required to make that determination. Generally, a location was determined to be an "intersection" if the cluster did not contain roadways with grade separation (interchange) nor weaving sections (rotaries or ramps). The clusters were reviewed in descending EPDO order until 200 locations were obtained. A sample of the top 2 ranked intersection locations is included in this report to illustrate the concept of the intersection clustering. The actual crash clusters can be viewed on the interactive maps at mass.Qov/ mhQ/to pcrashclusters. Furthermore, a shape file of the top crash intersection locations is available upon request. The above method was used to develop the top 200 intersection crash locations for crashes occurring during the three year period from 2007 to 2009. As with previous editions, the crash location analysis has been scored over a three-year period. By using crash experience over the three-year period, anomalies in the individual years of data tend to be reduced. Methodology - Pedestrian and Bicycle Locations Similar to previous years, the top locations where reported collisions occurred between pedestrians and motor vehicles and bicycles and motor vehicles have been identified. The crash cluster analysis methodology for both the top pedestrian and the top bicycle crashes is similar to the top intersection location methodology in that it uses a fixed meter search distance (for both pedestrian and bicycle crashes it is 100 meters (328 ft.) compared to 25 meters for intersection locations) to merge crash clusters together. Crashes involving collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians or bicycles were identified by using the non-motorist type code within the CDS database (which may yield, different results from using most harmful event, first harmful event, or sequence of events data fields). Furthermore, the methodology uses the Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) weighting to rank the clusters. However, because of the relatively small number of reported pedestrian and bicycle crashes in the crash data file, the clustering analysis used crashes from the eight year period from 2002-2009, instead of the three year analysis for intersection locations. Additionally, due to the larger geographic area encompassed by both the pedestri~n and the bicycle crash clusters, it was difficult to name them so they were left unnamed but can be viewed spatially. The top 10 ranked pedestrian crash locations and the top 10 bicycle crash locations are included in this report. The actual crash clusters can be viewed on the interactive maps at mass. gov! mhd/ topcrashclusters.
