Oklahoma 2007 Five Percent Report

This report is in response to the Federal requirement that each state describe at least 5 percent of its locations currently exhibiting the most severe highway safety needs, in accordance with Sections 148(c)(1)(D) and 148(g)(3)(A), of Title 23, United States Code. Each state's report is to include potential remedies to the hazardous locations identified; estimated costs of the remedies; and impediments to implementation of the remedies other than costs. The reports included on this web site represent a variety of methods utilized and various degrees of road coverage. Therefore, this report cannot be compared with the other reports included on this Web site.

Protection from Discovery and Admission into Evidence—Under 23 U.S.C. 148(g)(4) information collected or compiled for any purpose directly relating to this report shall not be subject to discovery or admitted into evidence in a Federal or State court proceeding or considered for other purposes in any action for damages arising from any occurrence at a location identified or addressed in the reports.

Additional information, including the specific legislative requirements, can be found in the guidance provided by the Federal Highway Administration,

State of Oklahoma

5% Report

Submitted, July, 2007

Oklahoma's 5% reports are compiled using a percentage of collisions by defined criteria. Three areas were identified: Rural roadway sections (10 mile segments), rural intersections and urban intersections. The top one hundred locations were evaluated in each area, with the top 5% or more locations reflected in the attached tables. (See table, ATTACHMENT 2, 3, & 4)

Oklahoma's data system is a fully integrated, containing a wide spectrum of data elements as required by the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC). All roadways, rural and urban, were included in the evaluation; however, in the rural area, the top 5% of all the locations evaluated were found to be on the state maintained highway system. The locations were ranked by our state's Severity Index ranking system, compiling the latest five years of data.

Data Analyst for Oklahoma is Ginger Miller at gmiller@odot.org , (405) 522-0985
