Comments:CMFs of other crash types of adding lighting on urban 4-lane and 6-lane principal and minor arterials. Other crash types include all the crash types except rear-end, angle, and single vehicle crash. The number of crashes in the after period were not reported in this study, however, they have been recorded as 300 to give 10 points as a beneift of doubt for one or more of the following: (1) number of miles/sites in the reference/treatment group, (2) number of crashes in the references/treatment group, (3) reporting AADTs for the aggregate dataset but not for the disaggragate dataset used for CMF development.
