There have been 60 bridges rated as Code 3; this rating reflects bridges with timber railing or no <br />railing at all. Of all the bridges identified with substandard rail, these bridges or structures have <br />the highest vulnerability because they provide no protection for an errant vehicle. <br />3. Clear Zone Inventory <br />Through the data collection process and analysis of this safety plan, it has been identified that <br />an inventory of clear zones in Kittitas County would greatly benefit the process for future safety <br />plans and project proposals. Up to date and accurate data allows the county to better identify <br />future project locations that support the goal of eliminating fatalities and serious injuries on the <br />road system. Although it has a lower priority than actual projects, it is a low cost proposal that <br />could actually aid in the reduction of cost of future projects. This effort would include field data <br />collection, database creation, and potentially scoping level mitigation opportunities identified. <br />4. Denmark Road Safety Improvements <br />Improvement of a sharp corner with steep embankments at MP 3.57 would aid to prevent run- <br />off -road accidents on this specific road as it has a history of accidents at this location and was <br />identified on a previous safety plan. The priority level is lower than other projects because it <br />only targets a specific location and road characteristic. The county included multiple road <br />segments to provide improvements to this entire roadway corridor, from MP 0.50 to MP 4.35 <br />which includes bundling bridge rail improvements to the project for efficiency and cost effective <br />contract letting. <br />S. Huntzinger Road Safety Improvements <br />a. Phase 1 -MP 2.70 to MP 4.88 <br />b. Phase 2 -MP 5.14 to MP 6.99 <br />c. Phase 3 -MP 6.99 to MP 10.74 <br />Huntzinger Road had several segments of road that scored high on the risk-based prioritization. <br />Although there is no significant accident data to reflect the hazards, the road characteristics of <br />the road show several areas of curves; both vertical and horizontal, steep embankments and no <br />shoulder which are the largest contributing factors to run -off-road accidents.
