Road Surface TypeActual surface type of the roadway in the area in which the crash occurred. Examples are:Grooved concrete (areas where the concrete surface has been sawed, scratched or moldedto form grooves intended to improve traction or to make tire noise), Soil (dirt surfaces notidentifiable as sand, gravel, or any paved type).1.

Road ConfigurationA code indicating whether or not a trafficway is divided and whether it serves one-way ortwo-way traffic. Note that median must be present for a divided road. This information isuseful in classifying crashes as well as identifying the environment of a particular crash, tohelp guide future trafficway design and traffic control.1. One-way, not divided2.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________74. Access ControlThe degree of access to a roadway, controlled by public authority. The following diagramillustrates examples of access control.Examples of Access ControlPrivateDrivewayFull Control - Interstates- Preference is given to throughNo Control - City StreetsDriveway AccessRoadwayBusiness Entrance1. No access control – adjacent property owners are permitted one or more direct drivewayconnections to the street or highway.2. Full access control – no at-grade street intersections or driveways are permitted onroads with full access control. Access to the highway is provided through interchangeswith selected public roads. Full access control is a feature of all Interstate routes.3. Partial access control – adjacent property owners are allowed limited public crossroadintersections (at grade) and some carefully and predetermined driveways.75. Number of LanesThe total number of thru lanes of the “road-on” at the point of the collision (if two-way, totalfor both directions). Do not count turning lanes unless they are continuous betweenintersections. Enter “0” for parking lots.76. Traffic Control DeviceThe kind of traffic control device (TCD) present at the collision site and whether it wasoperating and visible at the time. Examples include: RR crossbucks only (the black on whitecross-arm device), Human control (law officer, railroad flagman, etc.). It is important thatthis data element is collected at the scene because the presence of specific devices is betterverified at the time of the crash. This data is important for ascertaining the relationshipbetween the use of various TCDs and crashes and identifying the need for upgraded TCDsat specific crash locations.ROADWAY0.
