Traffic speeds,rolling terrain, driver expectations,and access locations all contribute to <br /> crash potential,and suggest that pedestrian and bicycle travel in this corridor is suppressed due to discomfort and risk. <br /> Vehicle safety is typically measured in terms of crash history;given that many bicycle and pedestrian trips are trips are <br /> foregone due to the above reasons, crash history is not a reliable indicator of conditions related to bicycle and pedestrian <br /> safety. Given the potential amount of latent demand and the scarcity of crash data,bicycle and pedestrian safety are <br /> generally assessed differently from vehicular crashes, relying more on physical conditions.A similar approach is applied <br /> to railroad safety as well, due to the infrequent—but typically severe--nature of such rail crashes. <br /> Table 21: Bicycle and Pedestrian Crashes (August 2017 -July 2022) <br /> Day of Nearest Severity Road Surface Ambient Light <br /> Date Week Time Location Intersection Condition <br /> Jul 2021 Thursday 10:03 PM Orange County Buckhorn Rd Possible Injury(C) Dry Dark-Not Lighted <br /> Jul 2021 Sunday 2:44 PM Hillsborough,Orange County Faucette Mill Rd Evident Injury(B) Dry Daylight <br /> Feb 2020 Tuesday 7:36 PM Hillsborough,Orange County Faucette Will Rd FEvident Injury(B) Dry Dark-Lighted <br /> Jan 2020 Friday 9:38 PM Hillsborough,Orange County I NC 86 Possible Injury(C) Dry Dark-Lighted <br /> 82 US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study Existing Conditions Report <br />
