Safety Evaluation of Intersections in Bahrain

Intersections are an integral part of a traffic system, thus, studying their safety and considering countermeasures to increase their safety should improve the overall safety of the traffic system. In this study, we looked into the intersections with the highest reported accidents in the Kingdom of Bahrain through the years 2013-2016, for which the data was provided by Bahrain General Directorate of Traffic. The intersections with most recurring crashes are singled out and studied in more details, following the procedure of intersection screening detailed in the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual (HSM).
