Xi-Han Freeway is a unique freeway passing through a mountainous region with very challenging topography and complex climatic conditions. This freeway is built with many bridges and tunnels that greatly complicated the alignment design. Since its opening in 2007, the safety has become a serious concern due to the high crash risk. This paper presents the results of a crash analysis and consequent proposal on the crash countermeasures for Xi-Han Freeway are presented. This research provides evidence on how to improve safety of freeways in mountainous regions in China.
