Two-lane rural roads in Kentucky have the highest fatal crash rate of any type of highway in Kentucky. This report is the first phase of a study with the objectives of (1) identifying safety problems related to crashes on two-lane rural roads, (2) identifying high-crash locations, and (3) recommending possible improvements. The procedure used in this phase of the study involved an analysis of crash data to identify characteristics of crashes on two-lane rural roads, use of crash data to identify one-mile sections having critical crash rates, and a review of countermeasures to start development of recommendations to reduced crashes on this type of highway.
