Table 1

Qualitative scales of the criteria of pavement, signage, road geometry, and criminality.

LevelPavement Signage Road geometry Criminality

1Very bad conditionsMissing signage in all (or almost all) the sectionVery bad geometric characteristics of the road sectionVery high level of criminality
2Bad conditionsMissing signage in parts of the section. Damaged or unclear signage in many parts of the sectionBad geometric characteristics of the road sectionHigh level of criminality
3Regular conditionsDamaged or unclear signage in many parts of the sectionRegular geometric characteristics of the road sectionModerate level of criminality
4Good conditionsDamaged or unclear signage in some few parts of the sectionGood geometric characteristics of the road sectionLow level of criminality
5Very good conditionsSignage in all sections and is very clearVery good geometric characteristics of the road sectionVery low level of criminality
