Tables A 25 <strong>and</strong> A-26 calculate the 2008 crash rates for Branch Avenue <strong>and</strong> <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong>,<br />

respectively. This study used year 2008 because it was the most recent year where both crash<br />

<strong>and</strong> annual average daily traffic (AADT) data were available for <strong>com</strong>parison. Branch Avenue’s<br />

total crash rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is more than two times <strong>Naylor</strong><br />

<strong>Road</strong>’s rate.<br />
