The CRF is an engineering safety standard comparing a specific road to those of others of similar types  in the state.  "1.00" means the road is "as safe" as the rest in the state. Thus , State is actually SAFER than other roads of its type elsewhere, and High is slightly more dangerous.....                This is the  various agenda information created by or for the study committee                                    since July 2014, as of March 2015: Documents/State and High JAN 7 PAC Meeting PPT_SHOW.pdf Documents/State and High January 7 PAC Data Figures_201501261447386635.pdf Documents/State and High July 30 2014 Handout _201408041136328334.pdf Documents/State and High July 30 PAC Meeting PPT SHOW 7-27-14_1_201408041137474896.pdf Documents/State and High New England Conversion Experience Showing Changes Implemented_201501261446068654.pdf Documents/State and High October 2 2014 Study Update_201410161151075309.pdf Documents/State and High PAC 1-7-15 final_201501261446526316.pdf Documents/State and High PAC 7-30-14 Meeting Notes 2-1_201501261500177357.pdf Documents/State and High Pro Con Matrix Jan 015_201501221321269421.pdf Documents/State and High Sept 8 Public Workshop PPT 9.2.14_201501221320259101.pdf Documents/State and High SH_PublicMeeting_9-8-14 _201501221320362696.pdf Documents/State and High Study Area Map_201408250937364468.pdf Documents/State-High December 31 2014 Update_201501261446536629.pdf
