Each is on the federal list of proven safety fixes, matched to the crash that keeps happening there.
Appropriate yellow change intervals
Retime the yellow lights so drivers have time to stop.
6 intersections, 198 crashes a year
Corridor access management
Close or combine driveways so fewer cars pull in and out mid-block.
2 intersections, 68 crashes a year
Dedicated right-turn lanes
Give right-turning cars their own lane, out of the through traffic.
1 intersection, 60 crashes a year
Needs an engineer's review
1 intersection where no single fix fits, 32 crashes a year
