Background:
Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are a significant problem in the US. The US experiences about 40,000 MVC deaths per year (link), more than twice as many MVC deaths per capita as the average high-income country (link), not to mention 2 million injuries per year (link). Urban planning and traffic engineering can reduce traffic accident rate and severity through a variety of means, such as road geometry, speed reduction measures, separation of different modes of traffic, etc.

Question: What features of the built environment have the biggest impact on MVC rate and severity?
