Comments:	CMF is for "target" crashes. "Target" crashes are defined as those that occur during non-peak periods (specific to TOD). Peak periods (6AM - 9 AM and 4PM - 7PM); Non-peak periods (remaining 18 hrs for weekdays, 24 hrs for weekends and holidays). The authors of this study also experimented with producing additional CMFs from the same dataset using alternative, less reliable methods. Since this did not add new knowledge to this topic, these CMFs were not included in the Clearinghouse. ------The star rating for this CMF was modified from 3 to 4 stars in January 2015. The previous star rating was assigned using a sample size score based only on the crashes in the period after the countermeasure installation. The standard scoring method in the Clearinghouse is to score the sample size based on the crashes before the countermeasure installation plus the expected crashes in the after period.
