The safety analysis study area includes all roadway elements (segments, intersections, and interchanges) in the area impacted by the proposed project. The traffic analysis study area is a starting point, but the safety analysis area also depends on additional safety impacts of the proposed project. The safety analysis study area limits will be the same for all alternatives for consistency and comparability of the analysis results. Intersections typically include 300 feet on each approach but can be adjusted for intersections where longer queue lengths affect approaches.
