The purpose of this chapter is to establish a system for the detection of high accident locations so that corrective action may be taken to prevent or reduce the dangers at those locations on public highways and streets in the State.
The identification of specific locations or sections of public highways and streets which have high or potentially high accident experience is necessary for establishing priorities for improvement, selective enforcement, and other operational practices that will eliminate or reduce the hazards at the locations so identified.
