Table 5-10 Continued Potential Safety Improvements for High Crash Rate Intersections Not Addressed by Other Improvement Projects Intersection Potential Safety Improv ement Riverside Avenue/Main Street Consider: Table Rock Road/Morningside Street Maintain visibility of stop signs Crater Lake Avenue/Brookhur st Street Consider: 6th Street/Central Avenue Consider: Crater Lake Avenue/Stevens Street Improve east/w est left turn protection (phasing, all red) 10th Street/Holly Street Consider: - Sight distance improvem ents of and for w estbound 10th 8th Street/Central Avenue Consider: Barnett Road/Murphy Road - Evaluate Prot ected Left T urn Phasing on Barnett Rd. - Modifications to signal timi ng change intervals (i.e., y ellow and/or all red phase) - Red light photo enforcement - Signal progression improvements on Riverside - Protected east/w est left turn phases - Maintain sight visibility - Improved signal visibility - Signal progression improvements on Central - Evaluate signal timing change intervals (i.e. y ellow and/or all red phase) - Modifications to signal timi ng change intervals (i.e. y ellow and/or all red phase) - Red light photo enforcement - Signal progression improvements on Central In addition to the foregoing projects, the City should make efforts to enhance street sy stem safety through the following actions: • Regularly monitor crash data on transportati on facilities within the City , and assess and update the list of high crash locations as appropriate. At a m inimum, a reassessm ent of crash data should be conducted once every three y ears or after a significant change in the roadway system has occurred (a significant change is one which w ould cause a rerouting of traffic that causes a substantive increase or decrease in traffic volum es). Intersection accident rates should be calculated based on Million Entering Vehicles (M EV) according to the following form ula. Accidents resulting from DUI or which do not have engineering solutions (such as road racing) should be excluded from the data analy sis. Crash rate / MEV = (# of accidents/years of dat a) x 1,000,000 / (total weekday traffic volum e x 261 weekdays in a year) • Maintain an inventory of traffic control devices (e.g., traffic signals, signs, striping and pavem ent marking) to ensure that these devices can be m anaged and kept in good repair. • Require m aintenance of sight-distance areas adjacent to intersections and driveway s, to keep clear of fencing, landscaping, foliage, etc. that could obstruct the view of m otorists, bicy clists, and pedestrians. • Actively enforce m otor vehicle codes related to transportation safety .
