This report considers the problem of traffic accidents at specific locations in Council Bluffs, Iowa. A total of 46 intersections and 6 street segments representing 15 blocks were selected after a thorough review of four year's traffic accident reports. Each location was studied as a separate entity and as a part of the entire street system. Recommended improvements range from trimming hedges, changes in traffic controls up to extensive changes in intersection construction. A method of evaluating the effectiveness of these recommendations is also developed. The report is organized with the significant information briefly presented in the main text. More extensive data and details are in several appendices. This allows most users of the report to absorb its content without being encumbered with tedious details. When a reader desires more detailed information, it is readily available in the appendices. The analysis and recommendations for each location are presented on a standard format on separate sheets. This will permit those interested in certain locations to locate the desired information easily without disrupting the entire report.
