a. Raised, planted medians limit dangerous turning motions and slow traffic.b. Pedestrian median refuges shorten crossing distances and provide a safe place to wait. c. High-visibility, mid-block crossings provide safe connections to destinations.d. Reduced turning radii slow turning vehicles and increase pedestrian space.
Dedicated transit lanes will reduce conflict between travel modes, improve transit service, and help calm traffic.
Automated speed enforcement—currently illegal on Federal Boulevard—is a proven technique used worldwide to reduce speed-related injuries and fatalites. When deployed effectively, it actually results in fewer citations as safer travel speeds become the norm.
