71 lib Figure 23 indicates critical wildlife crossing locations in Segments C,D,and E of the US 70 Corridor. The Landscape Plan identifies criteria for barrier roads and potential crossing locations,along with potential actions to preserve and enhance connectivity within and between wildlife habitats.This information will help guide design recommendations for US 70 that will benefit both traffic safety and the environment. Rear end and frontal impact crashes are the most common crash types.Rear end collisions make up almost half of the crashes along the corridor which suggests drivers may not be anticipating the transitions occurring between more rural and more urban conditions.The high proportion of rear end crashes and frontal impact crashes at isolated intersections along the corridor point to unexpected stops in traffic as a contributing factor possibly due to increased turning volumes and at isolated signalized intersections due to queues at red lights. Other potential contributing factors include curving approaches,limited turn lanes,and intersection skew., 69 US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study Existing Conditions Report
