Welcome!

There are three parts to this public engagement opportunity for the Vision Zero Leading Through Interval (LTI) Safety Pilot: 

1. Project Background
2. What the Pilot Changed
3. Pilot Project Questions

This engagement opportunity is open through June 1. We want to learn from our community members about the impacts of the pedestrian crossing adjustments at the pilot locations. Public feedback and driver yield data will determine whether this treatment is added to our Multimodal Engineering Safety Toolbox. 

Thank you for helping improve our projects to better meet your needs!

Pilot Goals

The goal of this pilot was to change the timing of traffic signals for people driving and people walking to reduce the number of conflicts between people crossing the street and people turning across the crosswalk. We are trying this approach to see if we can achieve measurable safety improvements through timing changes, giving us a new, rapidly implementable option for improving safety for all users at signalized intersections.

• Introduce a signal timing strategy to enhance safety and visibility for people walking and biking
• Reduce conflicts between turning vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists.
• Keep straight-moving traffic moving while providing more flexibility for a longer head start for people walking.

Pilot Locations

The pilot locations were chosen due to their geometry and existing dedicated turn lanes, as well as crash histories and high volumes of pedestrian and vehicle activity: 

• Wilson Blvd & N Lynn St
• Washington Blvd & 10th St N
