No, a near-miss or data point with a higher G-force reading does not necessarily mean a road or intersection is unsafe.
No, a near-miss or data point with a higher G-force reading does not necessarily mean a road or intersection is unsafe.
There are some traffic contexts where higher G-force readings are expected and would not necessarily indicate a potentially unsafe road or intersection. For example, although a high number of crashes occur at roundabouts, they tend to be low-injury.
Road Intelligence near-miss data is a guide to show potentially unsafe roads or intersections. Whether that near-miss data falls within expected values or is contextually appropriate and requires discretion from a traffic engineering or road safety professional to determine if those readings pose a significant safety concern.
