Abstract The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed the Model Inventory of Roadway Elements (MIRE) as a listing of roadway features and traffic volume elements important to safety management to help support agencies move towards more data-driven decision-making. The purpose of this effort was to test the feasibility of collecting MIRE data through a Lead Agency Program as part of the MIRE Management Information System (MIRE MIS) project. FHWA chose two lead agencies, New Hampshire and Washington State. Both agencies requested support for collecting intersection elements. This report documents the effort to develop an intersection inventory for each Lead Agency, including development of the data collection tools, the challenges faced, and the lessons learned. These lessons are applicable to other agencies interested in improving their roadway inventory data to support their safety programs through data-driven decision-making.
