Accident Statistics Traffic accident reports for the Greenleaf Terrace neighborhood were obtained from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles through the City of Charlottesville and statistics were compiled from these reports. In 2006 and 2007, there were 26 reported traffic accidents in Greenleaf Terrace or on one of the roads that form its perimeter. Map 8 shows the locations of these accidents- it should be noted that several intersections have multiple accidents that may overlap to appear as one incident. In an attempt to simplify analysis, accidents were placed in one of the six following categories: Parked- at least one of the vehicles involved was parked at the time of the collision Lost Control- Single-vehicle accident involving loss of driver control Angle- two-vehicle accidents in which collision occurs at an angle- most common at intersections Rear- two-vehicle accident in which one vehicle rear-ends another Combo- multi-vehicle accident involving multiple collision types Hit Animal- accident in which animal is struck. The following table shows the percentage of each type of accident recorded in the neighborhood: Table 3: Accident Types Accident Type Frequency Percent Parked 5 19.2% Lost Control 5 19.2% Angle 11 42.3% Rear 3 11.5% Combo 1 3.8% Hit Animal 1 3.8% Total 26 100.0% Source: City of Charlottesville By far, the most common accidents in Greenleaf Terrace were “angle” type collisions. The majority of these types of accidents occurred at the high-volume intersections of Rose Hill Drive and Rugby Avenue, Rugby Road and Rugby Avenue, Preston Avenue and Rugby Avenue and Barracks Road at Rugby Road. All accidents of this type occurred at an intersection.
