Safety and Crash Analysis <br />Traffic safety is a priority for Anoka County, with the primary concern in any crash being <br />the potential for injury or death. Crash severity is divided into five categories (listed below). <br />Fatal — Crash that results in a death <br />SeverityA — Crash that results in an incapacitating or serious life altering injury <br />Severity B— Crash that results in a non -incapacitating or moderate injury <br />Severity C — Crash that results in possible minor injury <br />Property Damage — Crash that results in property damage only, with no injuries <br />From 2006 to 2015, total crashes and severity of crashes within Anoka County on all <br />roadway systems have been on a steady decline (see Table 10). The corresponding trend <br />lines are shown in Figure 8. The data indicates that the safety improvements the County <br />has been implementing during the last ten years along with continued improvement in <br />vehicle design safety appears to have had a positive impact on both the number and <br />severity of crashes within the county. Total daily per -capita vehicle miles traveled on all <br />roadway systems in Anoka County can also vary due to the economy (e.g., fewer people <br />driving) and other factors. <br />Table 10- Reported Crash Se erit 006 5 <br />I Fatal <br />Crashes <br /># Fatalities) <br />2006 <br />2007 <br />2008 <br />2009 <br />2010 <br />26 (29) <br />17 (17) <br />19 (19) <br />16 (16) <br />14 (15) <br />111 448 836 <br />2,520 <br />3,941 <br />98 415 898 2,592 4,020 <br />69 <br />386 879 2,343 3,696 <br />65 334 766 2,121 3,302 <br />58 322 746 2,139 3,279 <br />2011 11 (11) 40 262 783 1,944 3,040 <br />2012 23 (25) 75 274 724 1,779 2,875 <br />2013 14 (16) 49 306 790 2,107 3,266 <br />2014 15 (16) 49 276 859 2,236 3,435 <br />2015 10 (11) 53 295 761 2,016 3,135 <br />TOTAL 165 (175) 667 3,318 8,042 21,797 33,989 <br />Source: Minnesota Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT) <br />ANOKA COUNTY 2040 TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE CHAPTER 3- EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />
