| Abstract | Historically, approximately 60 percent of severe (fatal and serious injury) crashes have occurred on Minnesota’s local road system. As the crashes occurred throughout many miles of roadways, the low crash density had resulted in the roads receiving minimal safety investment based on the traditional site analysis approach. To address this issue, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) assisted the counties in identifying low-cost, safety-related projects to implement on a systematic basis. The result has been far fewer fatalities on the county roadways |
