Types of HSIP Projects VDOT Business Plan Action Item 3. 2. 3 States: Systemic Safety Project ~ 30% Spot Highway Safety Project ~ 70% Spot Highway Safety Project Systemic Highway Safety Project – • A project that consists of a lower-cost/high-benefit highway safety countermeasure that is deployed at multiple higherrisk roadway locations to address a particular crash type. • Systemic projects rarely involve reconstruction of the existing roadway features. • Typical lower-cost safety countermeasures range from $1000 to $100, 000 per treated location. Systemic Highway Safety Project Spot Highway Safety Project – • A project that deploys a safety countermeasure or countermeasures at a single location or along a single corridor on the highway network. • The scope of work often involves reconstruction of existing roadway features or construction of new features such as turn lanes or new travel lanes. • Typical cost to treat a single location is much higher than the individual cost of a single location within a systemic project. • Costs for spot projects can vary widely but are generally in the $100, 000 to $10, 000 range.

Systemic Low Cost Safety Countermeasures Examples: Flashing Yellow Arrow Cost: $20 K/intersection CRF: 36 % of left turn angle crashes, 15% of total crashes Retroreflective Backplates Cost: 5 -7 K/intersection CRF: 15 % of all intersection crashes High intensity Activated Crosswalk Beacon Cost: HAWK Signal: $90 -120 K per location CRF: 29% Total Crashes, 69% Ped Crashes. Ped Refuge Islands Cost: $20 -30 K/location if no R/W needed CRF: Ped crash by 46%40 -45 % of all crashes FHWA proven safety countermeasure

Systemic Low Cost Safety Countermeasures Examples: Rumble Strips/Stripes Cost: $7 K/mile – center line RS, $12 K/mile – shoulder RS CRF: 44 -64% - center line RS, 36% - shoulder RS Curve Delineation Cost: $5 K/location CRF: 30 -50% of all crashes Road Diets Cost: $20 -30 K/mile for pavement marking changes CRF: 29% of all crashes Safety Edge Cost: $536 -$2, 145 K per mi for both sides of the road CRF: 20% in total crashes. FHWA proven safety countermeasure

Guideline and Development The Systemic Tool provides the process and outlines to select systemic safety improvements and projects. The Systemic Tool provides a framework for determining a reasonable funding distribution between spot safety and systemic safety improvements, and discusses the evaluation of systemic safety programs.

CMF’s Clearinghouse Ø Star Quality Rating based on a scale 1 to 5, where 5 indicates the best rating. Ø We recommend highest star rating and use engineering judgement to select the suitable CMF value. Ø We are working on developing VA specific CMF value. Ø CMF should be selected based on the applicable severity and crash type. Ø CMF should be applied only to the severity/crash type for which they were developed.
