Average Crash Rate (for similar roadways) and the
calculated Critical Crash Rate.

Safety Considerations
? Crash data was provided by NCDOT for a three year
period (June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2009) for major
roadways within the project study area.
? Data for US 70 and US 70 Bypass (from
SR 1323 (Promise Land Rd) to the Craven County Line)
shows the following:
• Segment length = 30.92 miles
• 618 total crashes
• 8 crashes resulting in fatalities
• 221 crashes with non-fatal injuries
• 214 night crashes
• 120 we[ (conditions) crashes
