Priority 1: Huntzinger Road Safety Improvements <br />a. Phase 'I -MP 5.14to MP 10.74 <br />b. Phase 2 -MP 2.70 to MP 5.14 <br />Huntzinger Road has several segments of road that scored high on the risk-based prioritization both in 2021 and in <br />2023. Although the accident data only reflects moderate hazards, the characteristics of the road show several areas <br />of curves; both vertical and horizontal, steep embankments, and no shoulder which are the largest contributing <br />factors to run -off-road accidents. Guardrail, signing and delineation improvements to this corridor are cost -prohibitive <br />so the county has prioritized the phases in order of mileposts. Milepost 5.14 to 6.99 had a total score above 55 in <br />2021, however dropped below this threshold to a total score of 40 in 2023. This may be due to the change in <br />methodology used to collect clear zone data and rate clear zone data per road segment in 2023, For this reason, <br />Kittitas County has opted to combine this road segment with phase 1 of the Huntzinger Road Safety Improvements <br />priority. The Huntzinger Road Safety Improvements project is a priority for Kittitas County because recreation <br />opportunities and new residence traffic are rapidly increasing along this roadway. Kittitas County would like to <br />acknowledge a current and continuing monitoring and evaluation stage for safety in these segments of Huntzinger <br />Rd. <br />13 <br />
