Description
Summary:	A cross traffic accident/conflict was defined as an incident accident data were obtained for six TWSC intersections in accidents at TWSC intersections. Traffic conflict and and a mean accident frequency of five per year. The and conflicts were not significantly different where determined to be a positive linear relationship. The distributions were developed to establish 90 percentile Drivers entering a two-way stop-controlled (TWSC) effectiveness of these signs in reducing conflicts and installed and three locations with only a standard STOP intersection with similar approach geometries and volumes intersections with 5,000 to I 0,000 total entering vehicles involving a vehicle on the stopped approach and a vehicle on levels for both accidents and conflicts at TWSC may make the incorrect assumption that all approach legs are objective of this thesis was to investigate the per day. These values were found to be 18 conflicts per day recommendations provide guidelines for future evaluations of relationship between conflict and accident frequency was required to stop at the intersection. To respond to this safety at TWSC intersections. safety concern, traffic engineers developed supplemental sign. Only cross traffic conflicts/accidents were analyzed. signs are generally placed directly underneath the STOP sign signs to remind drivers on the stop-controlled roadway that supplemental signs have been installed.
