Roundabouts save lives! Roundabouts have fewer conflict points with pedestrian crossings than traditional intersections, which allows them to reduce injuries and fatal crashes by up to 82 percent. Now *that’s* transportation safety! https://lnkd.in/gGrjDkjq #RoadwaySafety #TransportationSafety

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) use flashing LED lights at marked crosswalks to increase awareness and visibility of pedestrians. The enhanced warning improves motorist yielding and can reduce pedestrian crashes by up to 47%. RRFBs are one of 28 Proven Safety Countermeasures that are making the transportation system safer for everyone. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gYPSHHG5

The virtual PIOH is live for the 14th street resurfacing that proposes to incorporate a lane reconfiguration and bike accommodations. Very encouraging to work with District 7 to incorporate safety improvements in a maintenance resurfacing project, breaking down DOT silos and delivering infrastructure as soon as possible.
Send comments to GDOT by February 25th to support a new 2-way bike track on 14th Street! Read about the project & comment (find the "Take the survey" link): https://lnkd.in/e9vU_zvm The proposal is for a bike track, plus pedestrian safety improvements, on 14th Street from Northside Drive on the west end to West Peachtree Street on the east end. This would be a great benefit to the goal of a safe biking network in the city. From the GDOT document, here are the Benefits of Project Implementation: Roadway reconfiguration would increase safety by reducing speeds and implementing Federal Highway Authority (FHWA) validated countermeasures to reduce fatal and severe crashes along the corridor, particularly for vulnerable road users. Crashes would reduce by up to 47%, and the separated cycle track would reduce crashes by up to 49% (FHWA) as a result of roadway reconfiguration. Implementation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at crossings enhances vulnerable road user safety by increasing pedestrian conspicuity and increasing driver awareness and yielding at uncontrolled marked crosswalks. The left turn lanes would reduce left turn crashes, make it easier for drivers to turn left, and could improve traffic flow by reducing weaving. Bicyclists would have a safe, comfortable cycle track to travel between West Midtown, Home Park, and Midtown.
