This report provides an overview of the effect known as crash risk migration (CRM). It is intended to build an understanding of the potential for CRM to occur as a result of road safety treatments. It is also intended to inform current approaches to evaluating road safety risk. In particular, evaluation approaches generally examine the extent to which a safety issue at a treatment site can be addressed, without considering the possibility that some treatments may impact crash rates at other locations. This report focuses on situations where CRM may occur as a result of traffic redistribution.
