5% “High Priority Locations” for Safety
5% Locations Weighted for KAB
• Criterion 1: Locations with 1+ KA and 3+ KAB crashes
• Criterion 2: Locations with 1+ KA and 2+ KAB crashes
• Criterion 3: Locations with 1+ KAB crashes
100% local roadway segments were divided into 3 tiers:• Tier 1: All locations Criteria 1 & 2• Tier 2: All locations with at least
one crash & Criterion 3• Tier 3: All the remaining locations
with zero crashes

• Represent Approximately 10% of Severe Crashes• Represent Approximately 30% of Roadway Departure Crashes
Curves with Safety Improvement Potential
High Priority Pedestrian Safety Corridor
D1 had different criteria than D2-9 due to the number of pedestrian fatalities and severe injuries. For D1 a high priority pedestrian safety corridor
was defined as a segment which had at least 3 fatal pedestrian crashes close together
For Districts 2-9, a pedestrian severe injury corridor was defined as a segment which had: At least 2 fatal crashes close together or
At least 2 A-Injury crashes close together or
At least 1 fatal crash and 1 A-Injury crash close together
All fatal and A-Injury crashes in Illinois for
2007-2011
A total of 161 corridors were analyzed for Districts 1-9
The 161 corridors had a total of 543 severe (K & A-Injury) pedestrian crashes for 2007-2011125 fatal crashes418 A-Injury crashes
