The major questions addressed in this report concerning RLR crashes are: Does the width of the cross-street have any effect on RLR crash risk; What is the relationship of other select intersection characteristics to RLR crashes; and Using this information, how can one better target urban intersections for traffic law enforcement techniques such as RLR cameras or heightened intersection enforcement coupled with publicity.
