Contained in this appendix are several tables with definitions for the bicyclist and pedestrian crash types. In addition, there are also tables with definitions for other fields that are completed during the crash typing process (e.g., crash location, pedestrian position, and bicyclist position and direction).
| Crash_Location_Desc(Crash Location) | Crash_Location (Crash Location) | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Intersection | 1 | The crash occurred within the intersection proper or within the crosswalk area. Note: Driveways controlled by signals or signs should be coded as intersections. Uncontrolled driveways should be coded as nonintersection locations. |
| Intersection-Related | 4 | The crash occurred outside the intersection crosswalk area but within 15 m (50 ft) of the intersection. |
| Nonintersection | 2 | The crash occurred on or along the roadway and more than 15 m (50 ft) away from an intersection. |
| Nonroadway | 3 | The crash occurred off the roadway, including parking lots, driveways, private roads, yards, alleys, and other open areas. Note: Crashes occurring on paved shoulders, sidewalks, or driveway crossings are considered to be "roadway" crashes and should not be placed in the nonroadway classification. |
