stated under the 2025 County Safety Program: Call for Projects solicitation for grant funding. Additional scoring criteria has been developed by Kittitas County Public Works Staff and used consistently throughout multiple years of safety planning to provide scoring and prioritization continuity. The additional criteria include a heavier weighted score for segments listed in the previous County safety plan, roadway curvature - horizontalcurve, and collision seriousness (injury, serious, orfatal). Kittitas County recognized in previous safety plans the need to collect clear zone data that would reflect the current clear zone condition of all county roads. \n2022, a clear zone inventory was conducted that targeted known hazards such as shoulder width, side slope grade, and fixed objects in the clear zone of all county road segments. The hazards found in each road segment were scored based off severity and later totaled to get a final score per road segment. Each road segment was then ranked and given a weighted score that mirrored previous scoring criteria of past safety plans, County road segments possessing the minimum criteria characteristics, as well as the additional criteria characteristics, were evaluated and scored by the weighted method shown in Table 3, The complete list of resulting road segment prioritization is shown in Appendix B. Tabfe 3. Scoring criteria and weighted score values used in assessing road safety project priority for 2025. Higher scores indicate a higher priority road segment and/or higher countermeasure needs.
