I-10: 35th Avenue Sky-Harbor Blvd. Safety Study

---

Based on substantial research at the national level, the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) has elevated our ability to quantify roadway safety performance – past and expected future performance; and more effectively identify, assess and implement improve¬ments to reduce crash frequency and severity. This study represents another step in ADOT’s on-going emphasis to advance its safety management pro¬gram. The study will address a range of goals and objectives, all intended to integrate the HSM meth¬odologies into ADOT safety practice. By conduct¬ing the traffic safety planning study of the section of I-10 from 35th Avenue to Sky Harbor Boulevard ADOT will achieve the following goals:

• Apply the predictive and diagnostic HSM methodologies;
• Expand ADOT’s capacity to apply state-of-the art analytical methods;
• Conduct an objective assessment of available software tools ;
• Develop an understanding of the database requirements; and
• Transfer knowledge and experience
