Zoning Applications

Although the sample study was concerned with pedestrian safety, the zoning technique is not limited to pedestrian crashes. In fact, any highway safety problem or target group that can be described by the geographic location of its occurrence is fair game for zoning. Thus, for example, the process could be applied to all types of vehicle crashes, to roadway maintenance activities, and to particular age or ethnic groups. In fact, zoning can potentially be applied to any highway safety problem that has a mappable target measure and could benefit from more efficient program deployment.
