This paper estimates the relationship between crash activity and roadway design attributes on the Oregon state highway system. Crash models are estimated from roadway segments distinguished by functional classification and location. A number of design attributes were found to be related to crash activity in the various models, including number of lanes, curve characteristics, vertical grade, su...
