To define intersections in Network Screening - Intersections, New Jersey DOT provided AASHTOWare Safety with its intersection centerpoints, and the Numetric team created the intersection geometry.
Intersection Legs:
If the leg is within 50 feet of the center of an intersection, it will be included in the intersection.
If the legs of two different intersections overlap, the overlapping legs are cut short by the length of the overlap divided by 2.
Intersection Leg Length:
All intersection legs are 250 feet
How Crashes are Joined to Intersections
Crashes within 250 ft of an intersection where “At Intersection = Yes” are assigned an intersection ID.
Complex Intersections
New Jersey has complex intersections, which are intersections that are made up of more than one junction.
