STEPS TO A SAFER FEDERAL BOULEVARD
Add traffic calming measures
- Raised, planted medians limit dangerous turning motions and slow traffic.
- Pedestrian median refuges shorten crossing distances and provide a safe place to wait.
- High-visibility, mid-block crossings provide safe connections to destinations.d. Reduced turning radii slow turning vehicles and increase pedestrian space.
Dedicate transit lanes
Ddicated transit lanes will reduce conflict between travel modes, improve transit service, and help calm traffic.
Revise state law
