Page 13 <br /> <br />Pedestrian Analysis <br />Intersection and Midblock <br />Intersections and midblock segments with more than one pedestrian collision are analyzed. There was <br />only one intersection location during the current three-year period. There were no midblock locations <br />that had more than one collision. While the lack of locations with more than one collision is great from <br />a traffic safety perspective, it makes it very difficult to identify location specific patterns. <br />First Street at Spring Street/Kottinger Drive <br />Both collisions involved a westbound right turning vehicle hitting a pedestrian in a crosswalk (one in <br />the east crosswalk and one in the north crosswalk. One of the collisions was a right turn on red and <br />the other was a right turn on green. Right turning vehicles <br />have good sight distance of this crosswalk, as long as <br />they are looking in that direction. <br /> <br />Both of these collisions were reviewed last year, with no <br />new collsions at this intersection. We will conduct a 10- <br />year collision review to determine if LPI (leading <br />pedestrian interval) or prohibitng the right turn on red are <br />needed. Countermeasures S21-PB and PLS-RTOR. <br /> <br /> <br />Bicycle Analysis <br />Intersection (Bicycle) <br />Intersections and midblock segments with more than one bicycle collision are analyzed. Eleven <br />intersections had two or more collisions in the current three-year period. Patterns or actions to take <br />were identified at the following intersections: <br />Hopyard Road at Parkside Drive/Valley Trails (south) <br />Two of the bicyclists were hit in a crosswalk. In the <br />first collision the bicyclist was using the south <br />crosswalk but did not use the pedestrian button. The <br />second collision the northbound bicyclist was in the <br />east crosswalk entered against a red pedestrian <br />signal. The third collision was a westbound bicyclist <br />that had not cleared the intersection before the <br />southbound direction was given a green light. <br />No further patterns were identified. Staff will upgrade <br />detection to extend the all-red period (time the signal <br />shows red to all directions between signal phases) <br />when a bicycle is detected in the intersection. Countermeasure PLS-BSMOD. Staff will also work with <br />schools to get message to school aged bicyclists on the importance of using pedestrian push buttons <br />at signalized intersections. Countermeasure PLS-EDMSG.
