Analysis of Opposite Direction Crashes on New Mexico Highways: 1987-1995

摘要

An analysis of opposite direction crashes (ODC) on New Mexico's roads andhighways between the years of 1987 to 1995 was undertaken to: (1) identify and discuss data problems/inadequacies; (2) identify and describe the general characteristics of both ODC and the operators involved; and (3) determine the frequency of these crashes by highway type and location in an effort to identify specific problem areas.
