Abstract This document is intended to help users identify and apply suitable methods to assess quantitatively the safety performance impacts of project development decisions in terms of crash frequency and severity.This Guide suggests safety assessment methods that may be suitable for answering safety performance related questions that typically arise during each phase of the development process and for projects of various types. It also provides examples that illustrate the thought process for selecting a safety assessment method.This information on safety performance can then be considered in concert with other project criteria to make more informed highway investment decisions.
