ABSTRACT

This article describes the application of predictive road safety procedure, raised in the "Highway Safety Manual" (Road Safety Manual) American, conventional two-lane roads described.

Initially a brief general presentation of the prediction methodology is developed to go on to describe the structure of the predictive procedure for the case of rural roads with two lanes. Next, part of the specific formulation for this case is explained, incorporating several illustrative examples and the accident distribution system is explained by its level of severity or its type. Finally, the conclusions are presented.
