Description
Lake Saint Louis is a small city of just under 17,000 people in the same county as Lindenwood University. Originally a planned community, it is easily accessible by Interstate 64 and Interstate 70. It also contains two large lakes and shopping centers that attracts visitors to the area. As a result, there has been a number of traffic accidents in the area. The Police Department has requested that Lindenwood’s PIC Math group review data from 2018-2023 to identify patterns. The group has reviewed the crash data at several locations and under multiple conditions and has uncovered some noticeable trends. The group also has insights that may result in changing driver behavior or provide an engineering solution that may reduce incidents.
