The analysis phase includes identifying contributing factors or patterns in the collision data, to locate specific hot spot locations, citywide trends, and best practices in traffic safety to identify solutions to evolve the roadway network in Santa Ana into one where roadway users can make transportation decisions and unanticipated mistakes without risk of severe injury or death . The plan utilized the FHWA-sanctioned Safe Systems approach to improve the safety across the network, using low-cost but highly effective countermeasures . KTUA provided data collection, analysis, GIS map production, and led the safety evaluation and field reviews for street segments and intersections that present the highest risk to vulnerable roadways users (bicyclists and pedestrians) . The prioritization of risk factors established included collision patterns, severity of injuries, and proximity to school, parks, and other pedestrian/bicycle generating uses . Based on the data collection, field review and collision analysis; counter- measures for proposed projects were recommended and CAD drawings were produced in AutoCAD for 20 corridors, segments, and intersections to mitigate potential future collisions and facilitate safe and comfortable trips for children’s travel to and from school .
