Comments:The star rating for this CMF was modified from 3 to 4 stars in January 2015. The previous star rating was assigned using a sample size score based only on the crashes in the period after the countermeasure installation. The standard scoring method in the Clearinghouse is to score the sample size based on the crashes before the countermeasure installation plus the expected crashes in the after period.
