Comments:The CMF was developed for both rural and suburban areas. CMF applies to frontal impact crashes, including 1) left turn same roadway, 2) left turn different roadway, and 3) angle. 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.
