Abstract

A study was completed at the Georgia Institute of Technology on the relationships between single-vehicle, off-road fixed-object accidents and traffic, roadway design and socioeconomic characteristics. Crashes in which an out-of-control vehicle struck an off-road, fixed object and then overturned were included, but not crashes in which the involved vehicle left the roadway to avoid another vehicle. The study was limited to incidents on two-lane urban arterials and collector streets. Methodology and scope of the study and results are discussed.
