In an effort to create a more robust dataset, the Commission solicited the policedepartment of each Barnstable County town for crash statistics on their most dangerousintersections. There is a wide range between towns in terms of their ability to producethis data. In total, the Commission received top crash lists and the supporting data fromten of fifteen towns. No department was able to provide the severities of crashes fortheir high crash lists. The information from local data is limited to the number of crashesper intersection. Without severity information, the local data could only bolster the datathat were being used in creating the lists that use crash numbers and not EPDO. Thereare significant differences in the number of crashes at intersections as reported byMassDOT versus the local police departments.In each of the following top crash location lists, select intersections are succeeded by asubscript. The subscript is a reference to a note in the Index of Notes table, which followsthe fourth top crash list. The notes refer to any structural changes that have occurred orwill occur at the intersections, and also highlight any studies that may have included theintersections.Chapter 3: Safety Cape Cod Regional Transportation Plan | August 2011Page 274
