Abstract
The economic and health-related impacts of crashes remain an important focus area for improving the transportation system. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) there are nearly 43,000 crash related fatalities every year, with an additional 3 million injuries.
Traffic Safety Evaluations (TSEs), commonly referred to as Road Safety Audits (RSAs), are a tool used to assess the safety performance of a roadway facility. A TSE generally takes a proactive approach to addressing safety concerns, and can be done at any stage of a project from planning and design to existing facilities.
