Report traffic safety concerns
The City has created an interactive map. You can use it to report traffic safety concerns along high injury streets. Public feedback and crash data will help create safety improvements along high Injury streets. This is part of the Vision Zero capital program.
Vision Zero safety improvements
Delineator bumpouts - bumpouts narrow the roadway. This creates safer and shorter pedestrian crossings.
Hi-visibility crosswalk - " zebra markings" are more visible to approaching vehicles. They improve yielding behavior.
Slow turn wedge - wedges create a buffer between pedestrians and traffic. They also help vehicles follow the proper turning path.
Delineator medians - medians divide opposing travel lanes. They also protect pedestrians and/or bicyclists crossing the roadway.
Hardened centerlines - These keep drivers from cutting the corner during left turns. They also make pedestrians in the crosswalk easier to see.
Bike conflict zone striping - These green crossings reinforce that bicyclists have priority over turning vehicles.
Rapid flashing beacon - User-controlled flashing lights give extra warning at unsignalized intersections or mid-block crosswalks.
Retroreflective backplate - Backplates added to a traffic signal improve the visibility of the illuminated signal in both day and night conditions.
