roadways • Paved Shoulders: 71% reduction in crashes involving pedestrians walking along roadways • A driver traveling at 30 miles per hour who Park Avenue hits a pedestrian has a 45 percent chance of killing or seriously injuring them. At 20 miles per hour, that percentage drops to 5 percent. • 15% reduction in total crashes Ashlan d Aven • Very low cost ue • Signalized Intersection to Roundabout: 78% reduction in fatal and injury crashes Estimated Construction Cost: ~$400,000* *Includes cost of roundabouts and cost of countermeasures that overlap with intersecting corridors. Roundabouts are subject to additional feasibility and cost studies, and estimates do not account for Right-of-Way acquisition. Estimated cost does not include
dies, and estimates do not account for Right-of-Way acquisition. Estimated cost does not include lighting improvements (additional studies are recommended).
