118 Conclusions In the first phase of this research, the analyses tended to confirm that crashes occur more frequently on curves than on tangent sections. However, the limitations of available data did not allow much mining into the effects of the various design features associated with basic curves, much less superelevated ones, on the propensity for crashes.

120 Aspect Implications and Guidance Elements Barrier Design General • Poor vehicle-to-barrier interface limits the barrier functions in a crash. • Good interface is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for selection of a barrier type.
