Description: “HCL_L15 contains sections of Maine’s public roads (between intersections and/or town boundaries) determined to be High Crash Locations (HCLs). These HCLs are link locations where the critical rate factor (CRF) is at least 1.00 and at least 8 crashes occurred within the 3 year time period including the specified year and the two years prior. HCL_L15 created by Maine Department of Transportation using CAS (Crash Analysis System) and query in TIDE.Note regarding usage: These locations, together with the HCL node locations, are traditionally used in identifying and prioritizing capital safety projects on a statewide basis, but do not reflect all locations with opportunities for safety improvement. Likewise, not all HCLs reflect locations where infrastructure improvements would result in increased safety. Users are encouraged to use the most current data sources when conducting any localized or regional analysis. This data was created by Maine Department of Transportation using data from the Crash Analysis System (CAS) accessed through the MaineDOT data warehouse known as TIDE.
