Other Details
Included in Highway Safety Manual?	Yes. HSM lists this CMF in bold font to indicate that it has the highest reliability since it has an adjusted standard error of 0.1 or less. However, it also includes an asterisk (*) to indicate that the CMF value itself is within the range 0.90 to 1.10, but that the confidence interval defined by the CMF ± two times the standard error may contain the value 1.0. This is important to note since a treatment with such an CMF could potentially result in (a) a reduction in crashes (safety benefit), (b) no change, or (c) an increase in crashes (safety disbenefit). HSM recommends that this CMF should be used with caution.
