| Abstract | This project focused on identifying intersection infrastructure treatments that produced a quantifiable improvement in motorcycle safety. The project team conducted a motorcycle crash analysis focusing on identifying characteristics that directly influence or are overrepresented in motorcycle crashes at intersections. Next, the team conducted a literature review identifying infrastructure-related countermeasures either specifically designed to improve motorcycle safety or that might improve motorcycle safety as part of an overall safety improvement. The project team contacted six States that reported implementing one or more of the candidate intersection treatments (Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas). This final report describes six case studies arising from those contacts. |
