The Predictive Safety Analysis estimates the expected number of crashes at a given roadway segment or intersection based on the attributes and context of that location. This analysis then allows the county to prioritize where and how to most effectively invest in safety improvements through capital projects, development approvals, and master planning.

Montgomery County is one of the first jurisdictions of its size and land use mix to undertake a predictive analysis with this level of rigor and detail. This marks a shift from a transportation safety approach that focuses on locations where high rates of severe injuries or fatalities have occurred to one that proactively identifies and treats locations with similar high-risk characteristics.
