I’d have to dig a little for the original, but I remember Walter Kulash having something to do with it.

Our study concentrates on the street network and whether or not street network density and/or street connectivity are associated with differences in safety outcomes. Dave –

I wonder if curb cuts for parking lots were factored into this study as intersections and dead ends. I imagine such parking lots contribute negatively to the safety of a road network.
