Page 14 <br /> <br />Black Avenue at Cedarwood Lane <br />Both collisions occurred in the same marked <br />crosswalk, found the bicyclist at fault and involved a <br />juvenile traveling to or from school. In the first collision <br />the bicyclist thought the vehicle was slowing to let him <br />cross. In the second collisions neither the bicyclist nor <br />the driver saw each other prior to the collision. <br />It should be noted this crosswalk is bulbed out to <br />increase visibility of those pedestrians/bicyclists <br />choosing to cross there. This section of Black Avenue <br />is level and straight with parking prohibited near the <br />intersection to allow for good visibility. Pedestrian crossing signs are located both in advance of the <br />intersection and at the intersection to identify this as a crossing location. <br />Both collisions were in 2022 and an RRFB was added to this locations as a countermeasure. (Caltrans <br />countermeasure R37PB) <br />Black Avenue at Crestline Road <br />Both bicycle collisions involved a juvenile bicyclist being hit <br />by a southbound right turning vehicle where the driver did not <br />see the bicyclist. In both instances the bicyclist did not make <br />eye-contact with driver before starting into the crosswalk. <br />Action to take: Work with the adjacent school on <br />opportunities for students to be offered bicycle safety <br />education (Countermeasure PLS-EDMSG). Remove parking <br />on Crestline Road as you approach the intersection to <br />increase sight distance. Countermeasure NS11 <br />Valley Avenue at Blackbird Drive <br />Both of these collisions were on the last report. <br />Both collisions occurred in the west crosswalk <br />during the evening commute time period. <br />Action to take: We previously recommend <br />considering a project to improve pedestrian <br />visibility and reduce pedestrian exposure by <br />eliminating right turn lanes and extending <br />corners of the intersection. Countermeasure <br />PLS-INTNAR. We plan to evaluate this intersection in the upcoming Safe System Approach project. <br /> <br />
