Comments:	The authors of this study also experimented with producing additional CMFs from an alternate dataset of crashes (based on a different definition of relation to intersection). Since this did not add new knowledge to this topic, these CMFs were not included in the Clearinghouse. The CMFs reported in the Clearinghouse reflect the final CMFs noted in the report summary and abstract. The number of crashes in the after period were not reported in this study, however, they have been recorded as 300 to give 10 points as a beneift of doubt for one or more of the following: (1) number of miles/sites in the reference/treatment group, (2) number of crashes in the references/treatment group, (3) reporting AADTs for the aggregate dataset but not for the disaggragate dataset used for CMF development.
