Of the 8,548 total crashes from 2015-2021, October and January had the highest crashes (845 and 830 respectively). In terms of day of the week, Tuesday accounted for the highest percentage (approximately 17%) of crashes with the remainder of weekday crashes distributed relatively evenly over the other four days. By comparison, there were fewer crashes on the weekend than weekdays. Weekdays saw a consistent trend of crashes during rush hours, with the largest spikes coming during the morning rush hour.

HIGH-INJURY NETWORK A High-Injury Network (HIN) identifies focus areas and strategies for the Vision Zero Action Plan. A HIN is typically a network of streets with a high incidence of fatal and severe injury crashes. The HIN network also incorporates additional factors such as environmental justice data, roadway characteristics, and local context. Methodology Figure 5. Sliding Window Analysis Methodology HINs are typically developed by analyzing only fatal and severe (KSI) crashes. However, in certain places where the fatal and severe crash counts are lower, this may result in sparse or patchy results. Therefore, moderate injury crash data was used along with fatal and severe crashes. In addition, for vulnerable users such as pedestrians and bicyclists, the difference in circumstances that result in a minor injury opposed to severe injury crash is minimal and a minor injury crash can become a severe injury for a vulnerable user if the speed or angle of crash is only slightly higher. For the purposes of this HIN development, the fatal (K), severe (A), and moderate injury (B) crashes were analyzed for the study period (2015-2021)3. The project team developed the HIN using the Safer Streets Priority tool by Toole Design Group that utilizes a sliding window analysis to develop high-injury corridors for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles (or other crashes). The sliding window analysis uses a 1/2 mile window and 1/10 mile increment across all corridors to identify high- injury crash concentration for each segment of roads in West Orange (see Figure 5). New Jersey utilizes the KABCO Injury Classification scale to evaluate the severity of a car crash. The scale is setup as: 3 K: Killed (Victim is deceased), A: Incapacitated (Victim has a non-fatal injury. Cannot walk, drive or normally continue the activities that they could perform before the motor vehicle crash), B: Moderate Injury (An evident injury, other than fatal and incapacitating. Injury is visible, such as a lump on head, abrasion, bleeding or lacerations.) C: Complaint of Pain (A reported or claims of injury that is not fatal,
