Document Description
The purpose of this project is to reduce the severity of median accidents on SR-163 between KP 1.4-6.0 (PM 0.9-3.7), enhance the scenic quality of the corridor, and to preserve and restore historic elements. According to Caltrans Median Barrier Monitoring Program Reports (1997-2002), with 2003 data also included for additional project support, the actual fatal accident rate from KP 1.9-3.8 (PM 1.2-2.4) is 0.022 fatal accidents/per million vehicle miles/per year, which is higher than the statewide average of 0.016 fatal accidents/per million vehicle miles/per year and exceeds the Department's accident criteria warrants. The typical clear recovery zone for a freeway is 9 meters (30 feet), yet there are a number of mature trees and bridge columns within this zone along this portion of RS-163. The median barrier installation will reduce cross-median accidents, lowering the number of accidents and possibly the fatal accident rate for the SR-163 corridor.
