This report aims to characterize the drivers, infrastructure, and environment associated with fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes that occur at roadway intersections in the United States. Trends of these characteristics have been presented for the eight-year period from 1997 to 2004, the latest year for which such data was available at the time of this analysis. Of particular interest are the type and condition of traffic control devices present at the intersection, potential driver and environment-related contributing factors, as well as violations that were charged to the drivers involved in the crashes.
