as part of this safety plan to collect clear zone inventory data, which will create a roadside hazard <br />database, and identify potential countermeasures. <br />Prioritizes Lost Ettective Safety frnproverrleiit Projects <br />Road segment safety improvement identification used a combination of spot location and systematic <br />approaches. After improvements were identified, they were prioritized based on the potential for crash <br />prevention and greatest benefit, as supported by engineering judgement. <br />Kittitas County evaluated the scoring, and road segment safety improvement results to find high risk, <br />sizable benefit countermeasures to group together as County wide safety projects that promptly provide <br />the biggest benefit for the most efficient cost. By focusing on similarities in the roads and their needs, <br />safety improvement projects were formed rather than road focused projects, allowing the county to <br />better reduce the possibility of fatalities and/or serious injuries. Locations with similar geographic <br />vicinity, or projects with similarly proposed improvements were grouped together to provide efficient <br />contracting and cost effectiveness. A summary of the Safety Improvement Projects can be found in <br />Table 4, followed by the details for each project including preliminary scope and locations of the <br />proposed work, and an estimated cost for the improvements. Notes regarding the engineering judgment <br />that effected project prioritization can be found in Appendix C. <br />
