PA 412 ROAD SAFETY AUDIT

1.0 BACKGROUND This document represents the second of the five Road Safety Audits (RSA) to be conducted in fiscal y

year 2007, three RSAs were conducted in three different environments – urban, suburban and rural. Tbeing continued with this “high risk rural” road. This project represents the coordination of the DelawarPlanning Commission’s (DVRPC) Planning Work Program and Pennsylvania Department of TransportDistrict 6 Safety Plan. DVRPC’s planning work program includes a RSA Program. All state department

are required to develop a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) in order to draw on safety funds accoLU, the federal transportation legislation. In Pennsylvania each district is required to have a Safety Plain the state’s SHSP. In PennDOT’s District 6 Safety Plan several corridors are identified under Section Safety Projects eligible for Highway Safety Improvement Program funding. This was an opportunity to which were already on the plan and eligible for dedicated funding. Whereas, the goal of this project is to improve and promote transportation safety on the region’s roadwmaintaining mobility, the main objective is to address the safe operation of the roadway and ensure a hfor all road users. The road safety audit program is conducted to generate improvement recommendatcountermeasures for roadway segments demonstrating a history of, or potential for a high incidence of 

crashes. The emphasis is placed on identifying low cost, quick turnaround safety projects to address th

possible but will not exclude the more complex projects. 1.1 The Audit Prior to the road safety audit activities on site, DVRPC collected, reviewed and analyzed data (video o

different conditions, traffic volume data, turning movement counts, maps, aerial photographs, previous crash data). Using the crash data, crash clusters were identified and mapped for locations along PA 41were the main focus of the road safety audit. Additional locations were identified by members of the roteam local to the area. The Road Safety Audit was conducted on September 12th and 13th, 2007. The Pre-Audit meeting was 

first day and involved the definition of road safety audit and how it differs from a corridor study processof an audit; presentation of the corridor issues and an exchange of ideas and knowledge of the roadwathe corridor under night time conditions was also shown. The field view followed where the audit team state, and local officials and other stakeholders walked the corridor and identified transportation safety

1.2 Overview of the Study Area The study area consists of approximately 8 miles of PA 412 from PA 611 in Nockamixon Township in B

through Springfield Township to the border with Lower Saucon Township in Northampton County; see 

Study Area Map. Locally the road is known as several different names – Durham Road in Nockamixon

Main Street and Leithsville Road in Springfield. For a portion of the roadway through Springtown, PA 4designated PA 212. The study roadway is functionally classified as a minor arterial and runs in a northeasterly direction. The land use in the corridor is a mix of residential, agricultural and institutional usesrural in character. PA 412 has two lanes throughout its length, one travel lane in each direction with narrow shoulders in curbs. Lane width varies throughout the corridor but is generally less than 12 feet wide. The roadway cnumerous curves and steep grades; with no sidewalks except in locations in Springtown. There are thisignalized intersections along PA 412 within the study corridor with a signal at PA 611 and an advisory 

View Drive (PA 563). Traffic volumes in the corridor vary. They are highest in the eastern section of the study corridor with a

10,000 in 2006. In Springtown and close to Northampton border AADTs hover around 6,000. The middcorridor experiences between 3,000 and 6,000 AADT. The speed limit along the corridor is 45 MPH wispeed limit of 30 MPH. 1.3 Crash Data According to PennDOT’s crash data there were 127 reportable crashes between 2004 and 2006. Repcrashes which may result in a fatality, injury and/or property damage rendering the vehicle disabled, refrom the scene. A comprehensive analysis of the crash data is shown in Appendix C. Of the reportabwere 37 crashes in 2004 (30%); 45 crashes in 2005 (35%); and 45 crashes in 2006 (35%). When anafrequency by month, December had the highest number of crashes with 16 (13%), June was next with January, May and August had 13 crashes each. Crashes occurred in every month of the year with July number of crashes at 5. 
PA 412 - Road Safety Audit Report 

 

Hit fixed object (50), angle (38) and rear end (22) crashes represented 87% of the 127 reportable cras

four (3%) fatal crashes during the study period, 59 (46%) injury crashes of varying levels of severity, aproperty damage only crashes. The majority of the crashes occurred during fair weather (76%) with 2rainy, snowy, sleeting or foggy conditions. In an analysis of roadway surface conditions during the occ67% occurred on dry road surface. Sixty-seven percent of the crashes occurred during daylight hours

2.0 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following represents the findings and recommendations of the PA 412 Road Safety Audit. Shaded recommended strategies requiring low level of effort for implementation with high potential safety beneCorridor Wide 

SAFETY ISSUE REMEDIAL STRATEGIES LEVEL OF EFFORT 

Centerline Delineation o The corridor is shadowed during the 

day in some areas due to the canopy of trees and is extremely dark at night, a result of the lack of street lighting. Safety is further compromised by the narrow pavement width. 

o Install raised pavement markers 

(RPMs) the length of the corridor to better delineate the centerline during dark hours and adverse weather conditions. Centerline rumble strips should be installed to assist in the prevention of head-on collisions in accordance with PennDOT’s policy. 

Medium 

Pavement markings o Pavement markings are faded and 

hardly visible in several locations. 

o Re-stripe the corridor as appropriate. Low 

Signs o There is a lack of intersection 

warning signs. Given the geometry of the roadway this could be beneficial to road users. 

o Many curves throughout the 

corridor are missing chevrons. 

o Evaluate corridor for complete sign 

upgrade. Install “intersection ahead” warning signs and add street name signage as appropriate. Nockamixon Township will perform task in that section of the corridor

o Identify appropriate locations and 

install chevrons.

PA 412 - Road Safety Audit Report 

 

SAFETY ISSUE REMEDIAL STRATEGIES LEVEL OF EFFORT 

Speed Limit o Given the geometry of the roadway 

and the adjacent land uses, it seems motorists were going too fast. 

o Re-evaluate the posted speed limit and 

adjust as necessary. Study completed by PennDOT – 40 MPH was justified.

Low 

Speeding o Many drivers were observed 

traveling above the posted speed limit. 

o This will require increased 

enforcement. Given the narrowness of the roadway the relevant Police departments should coordinate with PennDOT to identify potential locations for and create pull-off areas. 

Low 

Delineators o Several plastic pole delineators 

used to identify curb drop offs in specific areas along the corridor were knocked down or run-over. 

o Replace delineators. Low 

Lane and Shoulder Width o Travel lanes throughout the corridor 

are narrow. Shoulders either do not exist or are very narrow throughout the corridor. 

o Program a project that will widen 

roadway to 12-foot lanes with at least a 2-foot paved shoulder where possible. 

High 

Drop Offs o The corridor is plagued by steep 

drop offs. 

o Conduct an inventory of drop off 

locations and severity and determine the level of effort needed to make repairs. 

Medium 
PA 412 - Road Safety Audit Report 

 

SAFETY ISSUE REMEDIAL STRATEGIES LEVEL OF EFFORT 

Trees o Tree canopy covers the roadway in 

several areas, resulting in many safety hazards – including blocking signs and sight distance. 

o Trim trees as appropriate throughout 

the corridor. 

Low 

Drainage o Drainage facilities are lacking. 

There is evidence of cross-over pipes that go nowhere and clogged culverts. 

o Conduct an inventory of drainage 

cross pipe facilities along the corridor and determine level of effort needed to make repairs and/or clean out. 

Medium 

Road side hazards o Concrete and stone headwalls for 

drainage in the clear zone are potential hazard to motorists who may run off the road. 

o Widen the road and install new curbs 

and traversable inlet grates instead of headwall. 

Medium 

Intersection Edge Line o The geometry of many intersections 

requires motorists to pull out in the travel-way to see on-coming traffic. 

o Install dashed edge line across 

intersection approach to guide motorists.

3.0 CONCLUSIONAs discussed earlier, the road safety audit program is conducted to generate improvement recommendcountermeasures for roadway segments demonstrating a history of, or potential for a high incidence of 

crashes. The safety issues identified during the audit and documented in this report along with recommshould improve the overall safety of PA 412. These remedial strategies can be implemented as time alimitations permit. The study area is identified under PennDOT’s Section 148 Planned Safety Projects implementation is eligible for Highway Safety Improvement Program funding. Additionally, many of the can be implemented through routine maintenance. Given that the contributing factor “too fast for condition” represents the highest for the recorded crashe

APPENDIX F 

Response Sheet 

PA 412 Road Safety Audit

Corridor Wide 

CORRIDOR WIDE ISSUES Solution Decision Agree/Reject Planned Completion Date 

Centerline Delineation o The corridor is shadowed 

during the day in some areas due to the canopy of trees and is extremely dark at night, a result of the lack of street lighting. Safety is further compromised by the narrow pavement width. 

o Install raised pavement 

markers (RPMs) the length of the corridor to better delineate the centerline during dark hours and adverse weather conditions. Centerline rumble strips should be installed to assist in the prevention of head-on collisions in accordance with PennDOT’s policy. 

Pavement markings o Pavement markings are faded 

and are several areas hardly visible in several locations. 

o Re-stripe the corridor as 

appropriate. 

Signs o There is a lack of intersection 

warning signs. Given the geometry of the roadway this could be beneficial to road users. 

o Many curves throughout the 

corridor are missing chevrons. 

o Evaluate corridor for 

complete sign upgrade. Install “intersection ahead” warning signs and add street name signage as appropriate. Nockamixon Township will perform task in that section of the corridor

o Identify appropriate locations 

and install chevrons. 
CORRIDOR WIDE ISSUES Solution Decision Agree/Reject Planned Completion Date 

Speed Limit o Given the geometry of the 

roadway and the adjacent land uses, it seems motorists were going too fast. 

o Re-evaluate the posted speed 

limit and adjust as necessary. Study completed by PennDOT – 40 MPH was justified.

Speeding o Many drivers were observed 

traveling above the posted speed limit. 

o This will require increased 

enforcement. Given the narrowness of the roadway the relevant Police departments should coordinate with PennDOT to identify potential locations for and create pull-off areas. 

Delineators o Several plastic pole delineators 

used to identify curb drop offs in specific areas along the corridor were knocked down or run-over. 

o Replace delineators. 

Lane and Shoulder Width o Travel lanes throughout the 

corridor are narrow. Shoulders either do not exist or are very narrow throughout the corridor. 

o Program a project that will 

widen roadway to 12-foot lanes with at least a 2-foot paved shoulder where possible. 
CORRIDOR WIDE ISSUES Solution Decision Agree/Reject Planned Completion Date 

Drop Offs o The corridor is plagued by 

steep drop offs. 

o Conduct an inventory of 

drop offs locations and severity and determine the level of effort needed to make repairs. 

Trees o Tree canopy covers the 

roadway in several areas, resulting in many safety hazards – including blocking signs and sight distance. 

o Trim trees as appropriate 

throughout the corridor. 

Drainage o Drainage facilities are lacking. 

There is evidence of cross-over pipes that go nowhere and clogged culverts. 

o Conduct an inventory of 

drainage cross pipe facilities along the corridor and determine level of effort needed to make repairs and/or clean out. 

Road side hazards o Concrete and stone headwalls
