The accident rates for 100 million vehicles miles of travel caused by people attempting to pass a heavily traffic 2 lane rural highway is 6.0. The length of the road is 10 miles with an average daily traffic of 36000. Determine the estimated yearly reduction in total crashes if the crash reduction factor is 0.25.

Problem 5 The crash rate on a heavily-traveled two-lane rural highway is abnormally high. The corridor is 14 miles long with an AADT of 34,000. An investigation has determined that head-on collisions are most common, with an RMVMT of 4.5, and are caused by vehicles attempting to pass. Addition of a passing lane has been observed as an appropriate countermeasure with a CMF of 0.65. Calculate the estimated yearly reduction in total crashes.
