The chart to the right illustrates the percentage of collisions that occurred in marked and unmarked <br /> crosswalks, in the roadway (outside of a <br /> marked or unmarked crosswalk), on the Location of Pedestrian Collisions <br /> sidewalk or at a driveway. While the number of s0% <br /> 70% <br /> collisions at marked crosswalks is greater than 60% <br /> the other location types, this does not 50% <br /> necessarily equate to relative safety as there 40% <br /> 30% <br /> are more pedestrians crossing at marked 20% <br /> crosswalks than the other location types. The 10% <br /> volume of pedestrians crossing at marked vs. <br /> 00/ I — mu UM <br /> marked unmarked roadway sidewalk driveway <br /> unmarked crossings is difficult to quantify given crosswalk crosswalk <br /> the number of intersections within the City. One <br /> •current 3-year ■previous 3-year <br /> collision occurred on the sidewalk in the <br /> previous period (bicyclist struck pedestrian at a <br /> bus stop). Party at Fault in Pedestrian Collisions <br /> The Party at Fault chart shows an increase in 80% <br /> driver at fault collisions compared to the 60% <br /> previous period with about 3/4 of the collisions <br /> having the driver at fault. There is a 40% <br /> corresponding decrease in the collisions with 20% 111 I <br /> the pedestrian found at fault. <br /> 0% <br /> The Pedestrian Age chart shows the age Pedestrian Driver Bicyclist Unknown <br /> distribution. The highest category this period is ■current 3-year ■previous 3-year <br /> the under 18, with 31% of the collisions (ten of <br /> the 32). All of the age categories remained <br /> within two percent of the previous three-year Pedestrian Age <br /> period. 35% <br /> 30% <br /> 25% <br /> 20% <br /> 15% <br /> 10% <br /> 5% <br /> 0% <br /> Under 18 18-35 36-54 55+ <br /> •current 3-year ■previous 3-year <br /> Page 9 <br />ehicles for 153 intersections to calculate bicycle usage percentages. <br /> Page 8 <br />ing roadway segments. <br /> Pedestrian & Bicycle Analysis <br /> Collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists are examined separately from vehicle collisions as these <br /> are the most vulnerable users of the transportation network. Due to the low number of pedestrians and <br /> bicycle collisions, the collision analysis spans a three-year period3. Both bicycle and pedestrian <br /> collisions decreased this period. There were 32 collisions involving pedestrians and 85 bicycle <br /> 3 The current three-year period is 12/1/2018 to 11/30/2021 <br /> Page 7 <br />e roadway. The 5th collision was <br /> an eastbound bicycle that was riding too fast around the roundabout and struck the roundabout. <br /> The previous 10 years with no collisions indicate that the visibility and warning of the roundabout is <br /> adequate. Green street guidance signs are present approaching the roundabouts to provide warning, <br /> and staff will evaluate if additional warning can be placed on the approaches. <br /> No correctable patterns were identified at the remaining intersections. <br /> Page 6 <br /> Avenue was not on the list for the first time, with only two collisions last year. Similarly Hopyard Road at <br /> Stoneridge Drive also had two crashes. Both of these intersections average 6+ crashes per year <br /> historically. <br /> The top three intersections are described below as well as any intersections where staff identified <br /> patterns/improvements. <br /> Foothill Road at Dublin Canyon Road / Canyon Way <br /> This is the first time this intersection has been on the top 10 list. The period from 2017 to 2020 the <br /> intersection had a total of 9 collisions. Ten collisions in one year is three times the normal rate for this <br /> intersection. It should also be noted that this intersection continues to experience lighter than usual <br /> traffic with 25,000 vehicles per day compared to the pre-pandemic volume of 45,000 per day. This <br /> continued low volume can be attributed to the low ridership on BART and the continued work from <br /> home by most of the office building businesses around Stoneridge Mall. <br /> The intersection was modified in June of 2020. The southbound alignment was altered slightly to allow <br /> the addition of a third southbound left turn lane. <br /> Page 5 <br />
