Abstract

Grade-separation structures (bridges) at interchanges, crossroads, over streams, railroads, etc., which are intended to provide greater convenience and safety, otherwise involve features which either obstruct the range of free travel or serve as containment barriers. The objective of this study was to identify those principal features of bridges and appurtenances which may be related to accident frequency and severity and to provide some further insights toward highway safety.
