A student may encounter three different types of potential hazards while walking to school:
Determine the type of facility, the volume of traffic, and the speed limit using the definitions for "Curb", "Narrow bridge or underpass", "Roadway", "Shoulder", "Sidewalk", "Speed limit", and "Volume of traffic". Distances should be rounded to the nearest foot. On a roadway without a shoulder for a distance of 397 feet, one point is awarded for the first 300 feet and a second point is awarded for feet 301 through 600.
Each intersection is considered a separate, distinct hazard. Along a given route, a student may cross four to five intersections. The intersection with the highest point value should be used in the analysis to determine if a CSZ exists because a hazardous intersection must be crossed. If a combination of hazards is to be examined, then the two intersections which have the highest individual point totals may be used. Consequently, the number of qualifying points is higher for multiple hazards than it is for a single hazard. Determine the type of control, the number of lanes of traffic on the roadway being crossed, the volume of traffic, and the speed limit using the definitions for "No control", "Number of lanes crossed", "Speed limit", "Stop sign control", "Traffic control signals" and "Volume of traffic".
Determine the number of tracks and trains using the definitions for "Number of tracks" and "Number of trains".
With this type of hazard, a student's route to school has a density of vacant or unoccupied structures which exceeds the municipal average as certified by the county, city, town, village, borough or other municipal entity in which the route is located.
With this type of hazard, the incidence of violent crime occurring at any location, intersection or address along the student's route to school exceeds the statewide statistical average for violent crime incidents per 100,000 people as certified by the county, city, town, village, borough or other municipal entity in which the route is located.
