Description: The top locations where reported collisions occurred at intersections have been identified. The crash cluster analysis methodology for the top intersection clusters uses a fixed meter search distance of 25 meters (82 ft.) to merge crash clusters together. This analysis was based on crashes where a police officer specified one of the following junction types: Four way intersection, T-intersection, Y-intersection, five point or more. Furthermore, the methodology uses the Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) weighting to rank the clusters. EPDO is based any type of injury crash (including fatal, incapacitating, non-incapacitating and possible) having a weighting of 21 compared to a property damage only crash (which has weighting of 1). The clustering analysis used crashes from the three year period from 2015-2017. The area encompassing the crash cluster may cover a larger area than just the intersection so it is critical to view these spatially.
