There has been an increase in the use of the extreme value theory (EVT) approach for conflict-based crash risk estimation and its application such as conducting the evaluation of safety countermeasures. This study proposes a cross-sectional approach for evaluating the effectiveness of a right-turn safety treatment using a conflict-based EVT approach. This approach combines traffic conflicts of different sites at the same period and develops the generalized extreme value (GEV) models.
