Fatal Accident Reporting System, 1989DSN: CC37.SAS.FARS89 USER NOTE * Note: The 1989 Coding and Validation Manual incorporates the identification of additions, deletions, and changes from the 1988 Version. This is done by using a character on the left-hand margin of the text. A "+" indicates an addition, a "\" indicates a deletion, and a "|" indicates that a change occurs. In places where more than one type of modification occurs, an addition supercedes a deletion which supercedes a change.LIST OF ELEMENTS AND LOCATION CODES All Levels ALL LEVELS Case Number-State Number A1 Transaction Code A7 V1 V7 P1 P7 Consecutive Number A3 V3 P3 Accident Level ACCIDENT LEVEL Card Number 1 Card Number A9 Speed Limit A62 City A14 Roadway Alignment A64 County A18 Roadway Profile A65 Accident Date A21 Roadway Surface Type A66 Time A27 Roadway Surface Condition A67 Number of Vehicle Forms A31 Traffic Control Device A68 Submitted Traffic Control Device A70 Number of Person Forms A33 Functioning Submitted Hit-And-Run A71 Federal-Aid System A35 Light Condition A72 Roadway Function Class A36 Atmospheric Conditions A73 Construction/Maintenance A74 Route Signing A38 Zone Trafficway Identifier A39 Notification Time EMS A75 Milepoint A49 Arrival Time EMS A79 Special Jurisdiction A54 EMS Time at Hospital A83 First Harmful Event A55 School Bus Related A87 Manner of Collision A57 Related Factors-Accident A88 Relation to Junction A58 Level A90 Relation to Roadway A59 A92 Trafficway Flow A60 Rail Grade Crossing A94 Number of Travel Lanes A61 Identifier Card Number 2 Card Number A9 Additional State A14 Information Vehicle Level VEHICLE LEVEL Vehicle Number V10 Vehicle Model V16 Vehicle Make V14 Body Type V18 Model Year V20 Impact Point-Principal V51 VIN V22 Extent of Deformation V53 Registration State V39 Vehicle Role V54 Rollover V41 Manner of Leaving Scene V55 Jackknife V42 Fire Occurrence V56 Travel Speed V43 Number of Occupants V57 Hazardous Cargo V45 Related Factors-Vehicle V59 Vehicle Trailering V46 Level V61 Special Use V47 Vehicle Maneuver V63 Emergency Use V48 Most Harmful Event V65 Impact Point-Initial V49 Driver Level DRIVER LEVEL Driver Presence D14 License State D15 Previous Speeding D27 Driver License Status D17 Convictions Driver License Type D18 Previous Other Harmful D29 Compliance Moving Violation Compliance with License D19 Convictions Restrictions Date of Last Accident, D31 Suspension, Conviction Violations Charged D20 Date of First Accident D35 Previous Recorded D21 Suspension, Conviction Accidents Driver Zip Code D39 Previous Recorded D23 Related Factors-Driver D44 Suspensions Level D46 Previous DWI Convictions D25 D48 Person Level PERSON LEVEL Vehicle Number P10 Method of Alcohol P28 Person Number P12 Determination Non-Motorist Striking P14 Police Reported Alcohol P29 Vehicle Number Involvement Age P16 Alcohol Test Result P30 Sex P18 Drugs Noted in P32 Person Type P19 Toxicology Report Seating Position P20 Injury Severity P33 Manual (Active) P22 Taken to Hospital or P34 Restraint System-Use Treatment Facility Automatic (Passive) P23 Death Date P35 Restraint System-Function Death Time P41 Non-Motorist Location P24 Related Factors-Person P45 Ejection P26 Level P47 Extrication P27 P49 Death Certificate Number SP1 Fatal Injury At Work SP2SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions (How and When) How to submit 1988 Data Enter data directly from coded FARS forms, using procedures described in the FARS MICROCOMPUTER DATA ENTRY MANUAL. 1989 Data Enter data directly from coded FARS forms (Exhibit 100-A), using procedures described in the FARS Microcomputer Data Entry Manual (MDE Manual). When to submit Make submissions at anytime during the week via the Microcomputer. Data Sources .1 Use the ANSI D16.1-1983 Manual on Classification of Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident (Fourth Edition) for definitions in coding the FARS forms. .2 Obtain information from death certificates for persons who die as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. .3 Use the State Driver Licensing Files, Vehicle Registration Files, Highway Department Files, Accident Reports, and Vital Statistics Reports. .4 See the FARS MDE manual for instructions on obtaining data and responding to requests for data on vehicles and drivers not registered or licensed in your state. .5 The message system should be used to obtain data on involved Out-Of-State drivers and vehicles. .6 The VIN Processing Procedures were modified in 1988. The significant change resulted in "bad" VIN's being automatically transmitt. This made the preformatted VIN message contained in the FARS Message System nearly obsolete (See Exhibit 100-B ). We continue to include. See the message system manual. 100-A EXHIBIT FARS CODING FORMS (ACCIDENT LEVEL) 100-A EXHIBIT FARS CODING FORMS (VEHICLE/DRIVER LEVEL) 100-A EXHIBIT FARS CODING FORMS (PERSON LEVEL) 100-B EXHIBIT 'VIN PROBLEM SUBMISSION'FORM CODING INSTRUCTIONS General Instructions .1 Codes .11 All codes are numeric except TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER. ADDITIONAL STATE INFORMATION, RAIL GRADE CROSSING IDENTIFIER, and VIN. .12 All codes are on the form except: FIRST HARMFUL EVENT, TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE, RAIL GRADE CROSSING IDENTIFIER, RELATED FACTORS (all levels), VEHICLE MAKE, VEHICLE MODEL, BODY TYPE, VEHICLE MANEUVER and MOST HARMFUL EVENT. See the appropriate data element pages for these codes. .13 Code for 'Unknown' is always nine. 'Unknown' should only be used when all sources for obtaining information on an element have been searched and the information is missing or stated unknown. .14 The code for 'Not Applicable' or its equivalent is always zero. .15 The code for 'None' is always zero except for Alcohol Test Result. .2 Coding Forms .21 Blanks are used only in fields to be later updated with three exceptions: .211 If DRIVER PRESENCE is coded 2 or 9 all other driver information except RELATED FACTORS-DRIVER LEVEL must be blank. .212 If VIN is less than seventeen characters, do not zero fill, leave remaining characters blank. If a State is not allowed to code the entire VIN, code the partial VIN and zero- fill the characters that cannot be completed. .213 If TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER is less than ten characters, do not zero fill or 9 fill. Leave remaining characters blank. .22 All codes are right justified except VIN and TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER. .3 Vehicle Driver and Person Level Forms. These forms are automatically numbered by the system. .31 Vehicles are numbered consecutively beginning with 01. .32 For each vehicle, persons are numbered consecutively beginning with 01. Order is not important. The driver does not have to be 01. .33 The vehicle number for nonmotorists is 00. .34 Nonmotorists are numbered consecutively beginning with 01. Order is not important. .4 Miscellaneous .41 The number of changes per case is not limited. .42 Request of other States for information should always follow the format of the MDE systems Out-Of-State Data Request whether the MDE System itself or the mail is used. .43 Refer all coding questions through the FARS CODING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. .44 Copies of all cases or other actions submitted must be retained for 3 years after the data collection year. .45 If a State will not allow transmittal of complete VIN, send a memorandum to the RCOTR informing him of this fact. .5 Special Case - Coding Fatal Traffic Accidents for which there is only a death certificate. .51 Be sure the death occurred within thirty (30) days of the accident. If you don't know, do not submit the case. If it occurred after 30 days, do not submit. .52 For the cases you do submit, you must complete Forms HS-214, HS-214A, HS-214B unless you have been granted an exemption. .6 Code the required elements as follows: These mandatory elements are the minimum number of elements needed to consider a case a legitimate FARS case. Once these elements have been coded, the values cannot be changed. Changes can only be made by deleting the case and re-entering it. Accident Level (Form HS-214) Date - Appropriate Day, Month and Year Accident Time - Appropriate hour and minute if known, 9999 if not known Number of Vehicle Forms Submitted- 01-99 Number of Person Forms Submitted - 01-99 First Harmful Appropriate Code if known Event - 99 if not known Vehicle/Driver Level (Form HS-214A) Vehicle Number - 01-99 Number of Occupants 01-97 if known, 99 if unknown Driver Presence - Appropriate code if known, 9 if unknown Person Level (Form HS-214B) Vehicle Number - 00 if nonmotorist 01-99 if occupant Person Number - 01-99 Person Type - 1, 2, or 9 for occupants 3-8 for nonmotorists .61 Code all other elements with the proper code if information is known. If no information is known, code the items 'Unknown'. There are three exceptions to this, Rollover, Emergency Use and Fire Occurrence should all be coded 0 ("No Rollover", "No" and "No Fire", respectively). Deletion Instructions See FARS Microcomputer Data Entry Manual for instructions on how to delete a case. Request for Case Listing Instructions See FARS Microcomputer Data Entry Manual for instructions on how to list a caseDATA ELEMENT CODING INSTRUCTIONS Section Organization .1 For each element on the FARS forms, an instruction page follows in the order of the elements on the forms. .11 The letters in the upper right hand corner refer to the forms: 'A' - Accident Level Form 'V' - Vehicle Portion of Vehicle/Driver Level Form 'D' - Driver Portion of Vehicle/Driver Level Form 'P' - Person Level Form The number refers to the first card column for the element shown on the form. .12 The Format section gives the type element and whether it must be coded for an original case or whether it can be changed. .13 The Element Value section lists the values for the element and their associated codes. .14 The Remarks section contains coding instructions, special instructions, etc., for the element. .15 The Consistency Checks section lists all inter-element checks for the element. 1. To the left of the error description is a 4 character reference number. The first 3 characters are unique sequence numbers for each edit check. The 4th character indicates the severity of the error as follows: Symbol 0- The elements involved will be noted as questionable or unlikely and the status of the case will not be affected. P- Non-mandatory data are inconsistent and the status of the case will be made Pending until action is taken to correct the inconsistency. F- Data elements including at least one "logical" mandatory element are inconsistent and the status of the case will be made Flawed until action is taken to correct the inconsistency. S- Data elements including at least one "structural" mandatory element are inconsistent and corrective action must be taken before proceeding to enter case data. .16 The Special Processing Rules section lists all checks made between forms to determine consistencies.2A1 - P49 Element Pages Case Number - State Number CASE NUMBER - STATE NUMBER Format: 2 numeric Necessary on all forms May not be changed Element Values: From GSA Worldwide Geographical Location Codes except code 43 for Puerto Rico 01 Alabama 30 Montana 02 Alaska 31 Nebraska 04 Arizona 32 Nevada 05 Arkansas 33 New Hampshire 06 California 34 New Jersey 08 Colorado 35 New Mexico 09 Connecticut 36 New York 10 Delaware 37 North Carolina 11 District of Columbia 38 North Dakota 12 Florida 39 Ohio 13 Georgia 40 Oklahoma 15 Hawaii 41 Oregon 16 Idaho 42 Pennsylvania 17 Illinois 43 Puerto Rico 18 Indiana 44 Rhode Island 19 Iowa 45 South Carolina 20 Kansas 46 South Dakota 21 Kentucky 47 Tennessee 22 Louisiana 48 Texas 23 Maine 49 Utah 24 Maryland 50 Vermont 25 Massachusetts 51 Virginia 26 Michigan 53 Washington 27 Minnesota 54 West Virginia 28 Mississippi 55 Wisconsin 29 Missouri 56 Wyoming Consistency Checks: (200P) 1.

In accidents involving harmful events caused by objects set in motion by a Motor Vehicle in Transport. Code 05 (Fell from Vehicle) is used when falling from the vehicle is the first event causing damage or injury. Code 13 (Motor Vehicle in Transport in Other Roadway) differs from Code 12 in that it applies to events in which a vehicle leaves one. Code 13 should not be used in an at intersection accident (where the First Harmful Event occurs in the intersection). Code 14 (Parked Motor Vehicle) refers to the collision of a motor vehicle. Code 16 ( Thrown or Falling Object ) is a noncollision event and, unless there is another collision during the accident. Code 17 ( Boulder ) is a rock of sufficient mass that when struck by a motor vehicle moves very little and remains basically intact. It may be considered as a fixed object. Code 20 ( Impact Attenuator ) is a device for controlling the absorption of energy released during vehicle collision. Its most common application involves the protection of fixed roadside objects such as bridge piers, elevated gores at exit ramps, etc. Examples include barrels filled with water or sand, and plastic collapsible structures. Code 21, ( Bridge Pier or Abutment ) refer to support structures. They are most likely to be struck by vehicles passing under bridges. Bridge Pier - a square or round column of stone, concrete, brick, steel or wood for supporting a bridge between abutments. Bridge Abutment - wall supporting the ends of a bridge generally retaining or supporting the embankment under bridge ends and composed of stone, concrete, brick, or wood. Code 22 ( Bridge Parapet End ) and code 23 ( Bride Rail ) are components of the upper portion of bridges. Code 22 ( Bridge Parapet End ) the end of a low wall which runs along the outer most edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the bridge. Code 23 ( Bridge Rail ) a wooden, brick, stone, concrete or metal fence-like wall which runs along the outermost edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the bridge or a rail constructed along the top of a parapet. Bridges do not need to support another roadway. It may be an overpass for a train or even for a viaduct (water conduit). See the figure on bridge components on page 46 for a diagram of the three bridge codes 21, 22, and 23. Barriers as in codes 24, 25 and 26 refer to a physical structure such as a guardrail, a concrete safety barrier or a rock wall which has the primary function of preventing cross-median travel by deflecting and redirecting vehicles along the roadway on which they were traveling. Therefore, trees, curbing, rumble strips and drain depressions are not barriers. Code 24 ( Guardrail ) is a low barrier running along the edge of a road shoulder either on the right or the left and which has the primary longitudinal structure composed of metal (plates, cable, mesh, box beam, etc.). A guardrail is differentiated from Code 25 (Concrete Traffic Barrier) by the material making up the greatest part of the longitudinal portion of the structure. In the case of guardrails, this is metal whereas in concrete barriers this is concrete (including concrete rails). All other barriers such as wood or rock and unknown barrier composition types should be coded 26. Code 27 ( Highway/Traffic Sign ) is used when the post supporting a traffic sign is hit by a motor vehicle in transport. Code 28 ( Overhead Sign Support ) is used when the sign supported is above the highway. The difference between codes 27 and 28 is the location. Code 30 ( Utility Pole ) - Electrical, Telephone, Cable and other utility pole type supports. Traffic Signal is coded 31. Bridge Code Diagram Goes Here BRIDGE CODE DIAGRAM GOES HERE Code 32 ( Culvert ) is any structure entirely under the roadway and less than 20 feet in span measured along the centerline of the roadway. An Embankment, codes 35-37, is a raised structure to hold back water, to carry a roadway or the result of excavation or washout (including errosion) which may be faced with earth (Code 35) or rock, stone or concrete (code 36). An embankment can usually be differentiated from a wall by its incline whereas a wall is usually vertical. However, there are exceptions to this such as a retaining wall which may be inclined or a vertical embankment which is caused by a natural event such as a washout. In accidents involving a field approach or crossing, if in doubt about when to use codes 32, 34 (Culvert or Ditch) or codes 35, 36, 37 (Embankment), use the following criteria: Use code 32, 34 if the driver would not have been able to recover from the ditch even if there had been no field approach (crossing). Use code 35, 36, 37 if the driver would have been able to recover from the ditch, but struck the field approach (crossing) prior to doing so. Use code 35, 36, 37 if it is not known whether or not the driver could be recovered from the ditch and a field approach (crossing) is involved. Code 39 ( Wall ) is a primarily vertical (+ 15 from vertical) structure composed of concrete, metal, timber, or stone which is not part of a building or a fence but typically is used for retaining earth, abating noise, and separating areas. Code 43 ( Other Fixed Object) This is used when the object is fixed and is not described by any of the other fixed object codes. Code 99 (Unknown) This is used when it is not known what the First Harmful Event is. For example, if a series of harmful events occured and it is unclear which was first. * These values are unlikely occurances and will raise an error flag. Consistency Checks: (500F) 1.

Manner of Collision MANNER OF COLLISION Format: 1 numeric Element Values: Blank 0 Not Collision with Motor Vehicle in Transport 1 Rear-End 2 Head-On 3 Rear-to-Rear* 4 Angle 5 Sideswipe, same direction 6 Sideswipe, opposite direction 9 Unknown Remarks: Refers only to accidents in which the FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is a collision between two motor vehicles in transport (codes 12 and 13). A head-on collision is one in which the front end of one vehicle collides with the front end of another vehicle, while the two vehicles are travelling in opposite directions. It also applies to those cases in which the direction of force was head-on immediately preceding the collision. For example, two vehicles are travelling in opposite directions. One vehicle slides into the path of the other, hitting it at an angle. Although the actual impact was not head-on, the important fact is that the direction of force was, and thus should be coded as a head-on collision. Sideswipe, code 5 or 6, may be applied if the following are true for both vehicles involved in the First Harmful Event. 1. The initial engagement does not overlap the corner of either vehicle by more than four inches, so that there is no significant involvement of the front or rear surface areas. 2. There is no pocketing of the impact in the suspension areas. The impact then swipes along the surface of the vehicle parallel to the direction of travel. 3. There is low retardation of the force along the surface of the vehicle. 4. Again, these must be true for both vehicles involved in the collision (with each other) which is the first harmful event. 5. For the sake of convention, end swipes are coded as angle (code 4). If unclear if the collision was an angle or a sideswipe code it as angle. * This value is an unlikely occurance and will raise an error flag. Consistency Checks: (A430) 1.

Relation to Junction RELATION TO JUNCTION Format: 1 numeric Element Values: Blank 1 Non-Junction 2 Intersection 3 Intersection Related 4 Interchange Area 5 Driveway, Alley, Access, Etc. 6 Entrance/Exit Ramp 7 Rail Grade Crossing 8 In Crossover 9 Unknown Remarks: This element refers to the location of the FIRST HARMFUL EVENT and not to the location of the commencement of unstabilized situation. Refer to the following definitions in ANSI D16.1: 2.5.10 Intersection 2.5.11 Junction 2.7.5 Intersection Related Accident 2.5.16 Interchange 2.5.9 Driveway Access 2.5.17 Ramp 2.5.20 Gore 2.7.7 Interchange Accident Be sure to review all of the appropriate diagrams with these definitions. Some question arises as to when to code Interchange Area (code 4) as opposed to Entrance/Exit Ramp (code 6) because ramps are a subset of the interchange area. Refer to the diagram of the interchange area on page 54. In general, code ramps only if the first harmful event occurs on the ramp roadway. Two exceptions to this are if it occurs in the merge/ diverge area of the ramp at the freeway in which case use code 4 - Interchange Area. The other exception is at the other end of the ramp where it intersects with the lower class road (surface street) where code 2 - Intersection or code 3 - Intersection Related may be used. However, caution should be exercised when using code 3 that it should not be more appropriately coded 6 (ramp). The following Table should help: Location of First Code A60 through Harmful Event A58 A59 A69 with respect to: a. on ramp roadway 6 1 ramp (special note - use A60-code 4) b. in intersection with 2 1 surface street surface street c. at or approaching 3 1 surface street intersection with surface street d. anywhere else along ramp 4 2-9 higher class road except on roadway (within interchange) e. anywhere else along ramp 1 2-9 surface street except on roadway (not within interchange) In the situation where a 'ramp' connects parallel freeways, code ramp if the 'design features' of the 'ramp' indicate it to be so or if the 'design features' are unknown. Otherwise treat the ramp as a separate trafficway. An entrance/exit ramp may exist outside an interchange area (i.e. rest area). Code 8 refers to a turn lane located in the median designated for crossing over from one roadway to another. This only applies to trafficways with separate roadways and a median.

Relation to Roadway RELATION TO ROADWAY Format: 1 numeric Element Values: Blank 1 On Roadway 2 Shoulder 3 Median 4 Roadside 5 Outside Right-of-way 6 Off Roadway - Location Unknown 7 In Parking Lane 8 Gore 9 Unknown Remarks: This element is coded as to the location of the first harmful event. A median (code 3) is defined as the portion of a divided highway separating the travel ways for traffic in opposing directions. The principal functions of a median are to provide the desired freedom from interference of opposing traffic, to provide a recovery area for out-of-control vehicles, to provide a stopping area in case of emergencies, to provide for speed change and storage of left-turning and U-turning vehicles, and to minimize headlight glare. Medians may be depressed, raised, or flush. Flush medians can be as little as 2 feet wide between roadway edgelines. Painted roadway edgelines two (2) or more feet wide denote medians. Medians of lesser width must have a barrier to be considered a median. Continuous left turn lanes are considered medians. Code 4 refers to a location off the roadway but inside the right-of-way. Code 6 refers to a location off the roadway, but its relationship to the right-of-way is not known. Code 7 refers to a strip of road located on the roadway which has been designated for parking. This code is used only if the accident occurred during the designated parking hours. At other hours, it is considered a regular traffic lane. Code 8 - Gore is an area of land where two roadways diverge or converge. The area is bounded on two sides by the edges of the roadways, which join at the point of divergence or convergence. The direction of traffic must be the same on both of these roadways. The area includes shoulders or marked pavement, if any, between the roadways. The third side is 60 meters (approximately 200 feet) from the point of divergence of convergence or, if any other road is within 70 meters (230 feet) of that point, a line 10 meters (33 feet) from the nearest edge of such road. Inclusions: Areas at rest area entry or exit ramps. Areas at truck weight station entry or exit ramps. Areas where two main roadways diverge or converge. Areas where a ramp and another roadway, or two ramps, diverge or converge. Areas where a frontage road and another roadway or two frontage roads, diverge or converge. And others. Exclusions: Islands for channelization of vehicle movements. Islands for pedestrian refuge. And others. Consistency Checks: (A390) 1.

Trafficway Flow TRAFFICWAY FLOW Format: 1 numeric Element Values: Blank 1 Not Physically Divided (Two Way Trafficway) 2 Divided Highway, Median Strip (Without Traffic Barrier) 3 Divided Highway , Median Strip (With Traffic Barrier) 4 One Way Trafficway 9 Unknown Remarks: This variable should be coded in accordance with the roadway selected as discussed in the remarks section under ROADWAY FUNCTION CLASS (A36). A trafficway may include several roadways if it is a physically divided highway. Trafficways are not physically divided unless the divider is a median, barrier, or other constructed device. Pavement markings do qualify. Refer to the definition of a median under RELATION TO ROADWAY. All traffic barriers are constructed on a median strip; therefore, if a traffic barrier exists on a divided highway, code 3 must be used. If it is not known whether or not a barrier exists, assume one does not and use code 2 (that is, if a median is known to exist). Consistency Checks: (A470) 1.

Number of Travel Lanes NUMBER OF TRAVEL LANES Format: 1 numeric Element Values: Blank 1 One lane 2 Two lanes 3 Three lanes 4 Four lanes 5 Five lanes 6 Six lanes 7 Seven or more lanes 9 Unknown Remarks: Refer to the Remarks section under ROADWAY FUNCTION CLASS (A36). A roadway (the travel lanes) is one part of a divided trafficway or, if undivided, the same as the travel lanes of the trafficway. Only lanes open for travel should be counted. Turn lanes are therefore excluded. Consistency Checks: (A500) 1. If NUMBER OF TRAVEL LANES equals 3-7, then ROADWAY SURFACE TYPE should not equal 4-5, 8. (A130) 2.

If TRAFFICWAY FLOW equals 1, then NUMBER OF TRAVEL LANES should not equal 1. Speed Limit SPEED LIMIT Format: 2 numeric Element Values: Blanks Actual Posted or Statutory Miles Per Hour* Except: 00 No Statutory Limit 99 Unknown Remarks: Refers to the highway speed limit that is operational at the time and place of the accident whether physically displayed or not. Disregard advisory or other speed signs since they do not indicate the legal speed limit. Acceptable speed limits are in 5 mph increments. Accurate coding of SPEED LIMIT is extremely important. Do not rely solely on the Police Accident Report. Check with the State Highway Department as well. When a roadway has a different speed limit for different types of vehicles, code SPEED LIMIT, A62 the SPEED LIMIT that is applicable to passenger cars. Example: A rural Interstate highway has a speed limit of 65MPH for passenger cars, but the same road has a 55MPH speed limit for heavy trucks/buses. Circumstance1: A single vehicle (passenger car) accident. SPEED LIMIT A62 = 65MPH Circumstance 2: A single vehicle (heavy truck/bus) accident. SPEED LIMIT A62 = 65MPH Circumstance 3: A two vehicle accident, (passenger car and heavy truck/bus) accident SPEED LIMIT A62 = 65MPH Logic: Our statisticians feel that it would be more representive to code the SPEED LIMIT of the majority of the traffic, namely the passenger car. In addition, they feel that by identifying the car speed limit of 65MPH, then they can determine the truck speed limit by reviewing the state's speed limit law. (The reverse is not necessarily true.) When coding SPEED LIMIT on On-Off Ramps (i.e., when the First Harmful Event occurs on the ramp), consider the following: a. When a ramp has a posted Speed Limit - a regulatory (black on white) sign, not an advisory (black on yellow) one - the posted speed should be coded. b. When there is an advisory speed limit or no sign at all, you should: 1.- Check with your State Highway Department tosee if there is animplicitspeed limit for all unmarked ramps. If there is, code that speed limit. 2.- If there is not; code the speed limit of the controlled access highway. * Values less than 15 mph are unlikely occurances and will raise an error flag. Consistency Checks: (A220) 1. If ROADWAY FUNCTION CLASS equals 01,11 then SPEED LIMIT should not equal 05-40. (A320) 2. If ROUTE SIGNING equals 1, then SPEED LIMIT should not equal 05-40. (A700) 3. If SPEED LIMIT equals 60,65, then ROADWAY FUNCTION CLASS should not equal 02-04,09,11-13,19,99. (1T0P) 4. If SPEED LIMIT equals 60 or 65, then ROADWAY FUNCTION CLASS must be blank, 01-04,09, 11-13, 19, 99.

Traffic Control Device TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE Format: 2 numeric Element Values: Blanks 00 No Controls Not At Railroad Grade Crossing Highway Traffic Signals Highway Traffic Signals 01 Traffic control signal (on colors) without pedestrian signal 02 Traffic control (on colors) with pedestrian signal 03 Traffic control signal (on colors) not known whether or not pedestrian signal 04 Flashing traffic control signal 05 Flashing beacon 06 Flashing highway traffic signal, type unknown or other than traffic control or beacon 07 Lane use control signal 08 Other highway traffic signal 09 Unknown highway traffic signal Regulatory Signs Regulatory Signs 20 Stop Sign 21 Yield Sign 28 Other regulatory sign 29 Unknown type regulatory sign School Zone Signs School Zone Signs 30 School speed limit sign 31 School advance or crossing sign 38 Other school related sign 39 Unknown type school zone sign Warning Signs Warning Signs 40 Warning Sign Miscellaneous not at Railroad Crossing 50 Officer, crossing guard, flagman, etc. At Railroad Grade Crossing Active Devices Active Devices 60 Gates 61 Flashing Lights 62 Traffic Control Signal 63 Wigwags 64 Bells 68 Other train activated device 69 Active device, type unknown Passive Devices Passive Devices 70 Cross bucks 71 Stop sign 72 Other railroad crossing sign 73 Special warning device - watchman, flagged by crew 78 Other passive device 79 Passive device, type unknown Miscellaneous Devices at Railroad Crossing 80 Grade crossing controlled, type unknown Whether or not at Railroad Grade Crossing 98 Other 99 Unknown Remarks Remarks: Code this element whether the device was functioning or not. If more than one device is present, code the highest device on list most related to the accident. The only exception is code 50. If this is present, code 50 takes precedence over entire list. Pavement markings are not considered as traffic control devices. Regulatory signs inform highway users of traffic laws or regulations and indicate the applicability of legal requirements that would not otherwise be apparent. Warning signs are used when it is deemed necessary to warn traffic of existing or potentially hazardous conditions on or adjacent to a highway or street. If there is a question as to which type a sign is, consult the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) or the Regional CTM. Generally, the appropriate code should be used if a party to the accident failed to heed the sign, was in a position to be controlled by the sign, or the sign has some relationship to the accident. For example, code 20 - Stop Sign for an accident at a four-legged, two-way stop intersection where a driver fails to stop at the stop sign and collides with another vehicle. Conversely, at the same intersection, a driver on an approach not controlled by a stop sign looses control and strikes a utility pole. In this case code 20 would not be appropriate. Code 40 - Warning Sign would be appropriate for a vehicle that fails to negotiate a curve which is posted with a warning sign. Another set of questions arise from the issue of proximity of the device to the accident. Analysts' judgement must be applied in these situations. Typical signs which create such problems are speed limit signs where a party to the accident may be speeding; Do Not Pass signs where a no passing zone extends for miles but is only marked at the beginning of the zone; Pedestrians, etc. Prohibited signs at entrances to freeways but a pedestrian accident occurs between on the freeway between interchanges; and other such signs which may pertain to a significant length of road. In these instances, if the accident occurs within reasonably close proximity of the sign and the sign type is relevant to the accident then it may be appropriate to code the sign. Code 05 - Beacon has a single head and flashes as opposed to the rest of codes 01-09 which have several heads, as in red-yellow-green on colors signal. If a flashing red beacon appears with a stop sign, the proper code is 05. 08 should be coded when a School Bus uses flashing lights to control traffic around the bus, regardless of any additional signs the school Advisory speed signs are coded 40. Codes 30-39 should only be used if the accident occurred during the time the sign was in effect. Consistency Checks: (520F) 1.

If no information is known about the vehicle and/or driver, code all the elements on the Vehicle and Person Level forms (except for related factors as stated above) as Unknown. On the Driver Level form, code DRIVER PRESENCE as 1 or 9. If coded 9, leave the rest of that record blank except for RELATED FATORS - DRIVER LEVEL where all applicable codes should be entered. If coded 1, then nine fill that record except for RELATED FACTORS - DRIVER LEVEL where all applicable codes should be entered. Otherwise, if some information is known about the vehicle and/or the driver, fill out all the elements for which information exists and leave the rest as Unknown (or blank on the Driver Level form as stated in the preceding paragraph, that is, Driver Presence was coded 9). Code 3 is used if the hit-and-run vehicle collided with a parked vehicle whether it contained occupants or not. Consistency Checks: (620P) 1. If HIT-AND-RUN equals 1, then NUMBER OF VEHICLE FORMS SUBMITTED must not be less than 02. (A380) 2. If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT equals 01-07, 16-44, then HIT-AND-RUN should not equal 1-3.
