The signalized intersection of NE 12th Ave & NE Waldo Rd recorded 61 crashes since 2022. Distinctive crash types include left-turn and pedestrian crashes. The evidence points to left-turn collisions being elevated, with 21 crashes observed. The imagery shows a dedicated left-turn lane is visible on some approaches but none on the southwest, west legs. The imagery shows marked crosswalks are visible on some approaches with none on the southwest, west legs. Installing dedicated left-turn lanes is recommended to mitigate the distinctive left-turn crash pattern at this signalized intersection.
Left-turn. Left-turn crashes are elevated, with 21 crashes compared to 11 expected at similar corners. The imagery shows a dedicated left-turn lane is visible on 2 of 4 legs; none on the southwest, west legs.
