This project contributes to the Washington State Strategic Highway Safety Plan, whose goals are to achieve zero road fatality and serious injury by 2030 and to reduce the number of pedestrians and bicyclists involved in motor-vehicle collisions on state highways. The study focused on “main street highways” (MSHs), which are stretches of State Routes that also act as main streets for the local populations. This report covers Part I of this study, which collected an inventory of collision data in Washington state from 2001 to 2012. The project tallied those collisions that had been geocoded, and the report describes the various methods used for geocoding. More than 90 percent of the collisions had been geocoded for 2010, 2011, and 2012, but only pedestrian and bicyclist collisions had been geocoded for the years between 2001 and 2009. |
