Title:
Weather-Related Crashes on Public Land
Abstract:
This research examines weather and road conditions related to traffic crashes on Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service land in three states: Idaho, Oregon, and California. Idaho seems to have particularly severe crases during bad weather on public lands when all roads on public lands are compared with other rural Idaho state and federal highways. Oregon's comparable weather-related crashes do not show such severe crashes in poor weather or road conditions. Weather-related crash differences appear non-significant for California's public and private lands.
