Utility of collision diagrams
Collision diagrams are a very illustrative tool for the
comparison of the accident frequency before and after the
implementation of a particular road safety measure.
The minimum length of the “before-and-after” period
considered in any ‘before/ after’ analysis should be at least 3
years.
WHY?
 Long: Ensure maximum reliability
 Short: Ensure responsiveness to change in crash patterns
Thumb rule ~ previous 3 to 5 years data
 With 3 years as a working minimum

What else do we need?
