CMF / CRF Details
CMF ID: 4130
Improve sideslope rating from 5 to 1
Description: Side slope ratings were assigned on a five-point scale. 1 = Little grade, if any; generous area to correct for vehicles leaving the traveled-way. 2 = Some rise or fall with low grade, but still highly correctible at highway speeds. 3 = Definite rise or fall with moderate grade, (e.g., drainage 1 ditch), probably not correctible at moderate to high speeds, good possibility for non-injury. 4 = Definite rise or fall with high grade and possible guardrail, similar to bridge over a shallow creek: not correctible, and high chance of non-incapacitating injury at highway speed. 5 = High grade and significant elevation change, such as a cut into a cliff; not correctible and high chance of fatal or incapacitating injury at highway speed.
Prior Condition: Improve sideslope rating from 5 to 1 on a rural, two-lane road. The CMF applies to single-vehicle crashes on horizontal curve sections. Side slope ratings were assigned on a five-point scale where 1 = little grade, if any, and generous area to correct for vehicles leaving the traveled-way and 5 = high grade and significant elevation change, such as a cut into a cliff; not correctible and high chance of fatal or incapacitating injury at highway speed.
