AGENDA REPORT
Department: Engineering and Public Works
Prepared by: Luca Zappiello, Associate Engineer - Civil Meeting Date: Tuesday, August 6, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Adoption of the National City Systematic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) / Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP).
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, adopting the Systematic Safety Analysis Report Program / Local Road way Safety Plan , as Amended by the April 2024 Addendum, W hich Assesses and Identifies Locations and Safety Needs to Improve Local Road Safety within the City.”
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:
The Traffic Safety Committee recommended on July 10, 2024, the SSARP/LRSP for adoption by City Council.
EXPLANATION:
On May 19, 2017 , the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded a $90,000 Systematic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) grant to complete a Citywide Traffic Safety Study, which required a $10,000 local match. On July 17, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-124 authorizing the Mayor to execute a Program Supplement Agreement to accept funding and establish appropriations.
Federal regulations require that each State have a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). While the SHSP is used as a statewide approach for improving roadway safety, an SSARP/LRSP allows local road owners to address unique highway safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP.
The attached SSARP/LRSP, completed i n February 2021, provides an essential tool for developing and prioritizing future road way safety improvement projects . T raffic collisio n data available from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for the 5 -year period of January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2017 was analyzed to identify i ntersections and roadway segments experiencing a high number of collisions. Prioritization was given to severe collisions, and collisions involving vulnerable user groups such as pedestrians and bicycles.
Safety countermeasures consistent with Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety Manual were recommended based on evaluation of contributing factors such as type of collision and roadway characteristics (e.g., number of lanes, traffic volumes, speed limits, intersection controls, lighting, etc.) Projects were then identified using a systemic approach.
Examples of safety countermeasures include:
Improve signal hardware.
Install/upgrade pedestrian crossing at uncontrolled locations. Add segment lighting.
Improve sight distance to intersections.
Install raised medians.
Modify signal phasing to implement Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI).
In April 2024, staff worked with one of their on-call traffic engineering consultants to prepare an Addendum to the SSARP/LRSP. The purpose of the Addendum was to clarify the plan development process, improve accountability, recommend safety policy and process changes, and identify the process for ongoing monitoring of the SSARP/LRSP. One of the recommendations included in the Ad dendum is to have the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) oversee the SSARP/LRSP, with the support of City Engineering staff. Responsibilities include:
Monitoring progress on implementation of the projects ide ntified in the SSARP /LRSP, including a report of project status, funding, or completion. Monitoring crash data, including crash rates, changes over time, or before -and-after analyses of safety project implementation sites.
Reporting key findings to the City Council.
This SSARP/LRSP and Addendum were presented to the TSC on July 10, 2024. Two residents were in attendance and spoke in support of the expanded role of the TSC. They also requested that the SSARP/LRSP be updated based on analysis of more recent traffic collisions. Staff plans on updating t he SSARP/LRSP at least every five years , as required by Caltrans to maintain eligibility for various grant programs . The TSC voted unanimously to accept their role for overseeing implementation, monitoring and performance, and subsequently recommended the SSARP/LRSP for adoption by City Council.
Adoption of the SSARP/LRSP by City Council is required to keep the City eligible to compete for funding through various State and Federal grant programs such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program.

Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program /
ES-1 Local Roadway Safety Plan
Executive Summary
The City of National City undertook a Citywide Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) / Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) as a means to identify both citywide and site-specific safety issues facing pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. The project examined the most recent 5-years of collision data available from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2017.
This project was funded through a Caltrans Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program grant and prepared in accordance with the SSARP guidelines. During the project, Caltrans initiated the Local Roadway Safety Plan program as a replacement of the SSARP. Some of the main differences between the two programs include stakeholder involvement and the identification of vision statement(s) and goal(s) to support the vision. These topics were incorporated into this project to ensure eligibility for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant cycles.
Project Vision and Goals
The vision of National City SSARP/LRSP is to improve multimodal safety across National City by reducing fatal and severe injuries through traditional and innovative infrastructure, striping, and operational enhancements, and coordination with entities responsible for carrying out enforcement and education strategies.
The following goals are intended to support the vision:
• Secure grant funding to implement the countermeasures and roadway enhancements identified through this project and other efforts.
• Continue to coordinate with local law enforcement related to behavioral safety issues, such as speeding and driving under the influence.
• Continue to coordinate with non-profits, school districts, and other organizations to educate the public on safe behaviors related to mobility, such as safe walking and bicycling.
Project Approach
The collision records were reviewed and refined to develop a collision database of injury records occurring on City of National City roadways (excluding those on freeways, freeway ramps, property damage only collisions, and records that could not be geocoded). The total number of records in the final database was 977.
Safety issues were identified through three analyses efforts, 1) systemic collision matrices to look at citywide collisions holistically, 2) an assessment of high collision corridors based on high frequency collision intersections and segments, and 3) a focused review of collisions occurring on neighborhood streets – defined as two-lane roadways with a speed limit of 25 mph. From these issues, a series of recommendations or countermeasures were identified.

Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program /
ES-2 Local Roadway Safety Plan
Systemic Collision Matrices & Citywide Recommendations
Separate matrices were prepared for collisions occurring within the intersection footprint and those along segments. These two groupings were further refined to display matrix sets consisting of all injury collisions and those resulting in a severe injury or fatality. Recommendations were developed to address the citywide findings, intended to be implemented across similar environments throughout the City.
The all injury intersection matrix featured 606 collisions, while 45 collisions were included within the severe injury or fatality intersection matrix. The intersection collision matrix incorporated behaviors (crash types and reported violations) as rows and roadway environments (intersection control and number of though-lanes) as columns. Table ES-1 displays the resulting intersection matrix for all injuries, while Table ES-2 focuses on the severe and fatal injury collisions.
The key issues identified with the systemic intersection matrix and resulting recommendations are presented in Table ES-3. The Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) countermeasure ID for the recommendation is also provided for each countermeasure, where relevant.
The all injury segment matrix consisted of 371 collision records. The severe and fatal injury segment matrix included 35 records. Similar to the intersection matrix, the segment matrix drew from behaviors (crash types and reported violations) as rows and roadway environments (posted speed limit and number of lanes) as columns.
Table ES-4 displays the resulting segment matrix
for all injuries. Table ES-5 shows the severe and fatal injury segment matrix.
The key issues identified with the systemic segment matrices and resulting recommendations are presented in Table ES-6.

Prioritized Safety Projects
The high collision corridor countermeasures (Table ES-7) were examined to identify high priority projects to pursue grant funding for. The following factors were reviewed and considered:
• Severe/fatal injury collisions
• High frequency collision intersections and segments
• Future planned improvements
• Project location and surrounding land uses
Consistent with HSIP grant requirements a total of three countermeasures were selected for grouping into a project, including:
• S17PB: Install pedestrian countdown signal heads
• S20PB: Install advance stop bar before crosswalk (Bicycle Box) • S21PB: Modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI)
Instead of limiting countermeasures to individual high collision corridors, a systemic approach was utilized, selecting eight intersections across multiple corridors. This process was intended to maximize the Benefit/Cost ratio (BCR) for the project and address locations with the greatest potential safety challenges. The locations were then grouped by countermeasure type. Four final countermeasure groups were identified:
Countermeasure Group 1: S17PB & S21PB
Location:
o Harbison Avenue / E Plaza Boulevard
Countermeasure Group 2: S20PB & S21PB
Locations:
o Harbison Avenue / E 8th Street
o E Plaza Boulevard / Highland Avenue
o Highland Avenue / E 8th Street
Countermeasure Group 3: S20PB
Location:
o Highland Avenue / E 21st Street
Countermeasure Group 4: S21PB
Locations:
o Highland Avenue / E 18th Street
o National City Boulevard / E 8th Street
o Highland Avenue / E 30th Street
The total project cost was estimated to be $427,500, with a resulting BCR of 42.66.

1. Introduction
The City of National City undertook a Citywide Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) / Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) as a means to identify both citywide and site-specific safety issues facing pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. The project examined the most recent 5-years of collision data available from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2017.
This project was funded through a Caltrans Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program grant and prepared in accordance with the SSARP guidelines. During the project, Caltrans initiated the Local Roadway Safety Plan program as a replacement of the SSARP. Some of the main differences between the two programs include stakeholder involvement and the identification of vision statement(s) and goal(s) to support the vision. These topics were incorporated into this project to ensure eligibility for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant cycles.
Project Vision and Goals
The vision of National City SSARP/LRSP is to improve multimodal safety across National City by reducing fatal and severe injuries through traditional and innovative infrastructure, striping, and operational enhancements, and coordination with entities responsible for carrying out enforcement and education strategies.
The following goals are intended to support the vision:
• Secure grant funding to implement the countermeasures and roadway enhancements identified through this project and other efforts.
• Continue to coordinate with local law enforcement related to behavioral safety issues, such as speeding and driving under the influence.
• Continue to coordinate with non-profits, school districts, and other organizations to educate the public on safe behaviors related to mobility, such as safe walking and bicycling.
Stakeholder Coordination
The City of National City staff maintain close working relationship with law enforcement (City of National City Police Department) and educational (National School District, Sweetwater Unified High School District) entities. Through these relationships, issues and strategies are shared, working towards the common goal of improved safety.
For over a decade, the City of National City has partnered with the National School District, Sweetwater Unified High School District, principals, parents, volunteers and community organizations on various Safe Routes to School Program initiatives. These relationships have been instrumental in securing grant funding for safety infrastructure enhancements for children walking and bicycling to school, as well as education, encouragement, and training campaigns. In

Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program /
the past, the National City Safe Routes to School Program Task Force has partnered with the National City Police Department to identify high priority locations for school zone traffic enforcement. Additional examples include establishing a Parent Safety Patrol program to train expert observers to watch over pedestrian and driver behavior, participation in the Walk to School events, and hosting of events to celebrate the completion of safety enhancement projects.
Fostering these relationships has become a critical part of the City’s approach to safety, resulting in lasting positive impacts on the community. Coordinating with these stakeholders will remain a key strategy moving forward.

2. Safety Data Utilized
Collision Database
Collision data was obtained for the City of National City from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for the most recent completed 5-year period, January 1, 2013 - December 31, 2017. The raw data for the City of National City SWITRS contained a total 3,286 collision records over the 5-year request period. These records were reviewed and refined to develop a collision database of injury records occurring on City of National City roadways.
All collision records resulting in property damage only (PDO) were removed from the study population, reducing the total number of records to 1,676 over the 5-year period. Eliminating all collision records listing freeways as primary roadways reduced the total number of records to 1,006. Of the 1,006 collision records, 98% were successfully geocoded, reducing the study population of collision records to 982.
During the process of reviewing and assigning location types to the geocoded collisions, an additional 5 records were removed from the analysis due to inaccurate geocodes (and without sufficient locational information to correct the mistaken location). These records either occurred outside of the city limits despite being included in the National City dataset or their geocoded location occurred off of the roadway, thereby eliminating any possibility to assign roadway characteristics to the records accurately. This reduced the total number of records in the final database to 977.
Categorization
The categorization process involved referencing the distance offset from the nearest cross-street as well as reviewing the geocoded collision records against satellite imagery. Records falling within the limits of the intersection (using stop bar or crosswalk as limits) were categorized as intersection collisions. All remaining records were considered segment collisions.
Table 2-1 and Figure 2-1 displays the categorization results for each mode and severe/fatal injury collisions

Notes:
1. One (1) intersection collision involved a pedestrian and a bicycle (no vehicles). This collision was recorded under All Injury for each mode individually but counted once for All Modes. This collision did not result in a severe or fatal injury.
2. One (1) segment collision involved a pedestrian and a bicycle (no vehicles). This collision was recorded under All Injury for each mode individually but counted once for All Modes. This collision resulted in a fatal injury (to the bicyclist), and was counted under the Severe/Fatal bicycle total and Severe/Fatal total for All Modes.

3. Data Analysis Techniques
The following techniques were used to analyze the five-years of collision data and develop recommendations: 1) systemic collisions matrices, 2) focused review of collisions within low- speed, low-volume neighborhood streets, 3) identification of high collision frequency intersections and segments, 4) focused analyses on high collision corridors, and 5) a best practices and document review of currently adopted planning documents and information to identify currently planned improvements. Each of these approaches is further described in this section.
Systemic Collision Matrices
Severe and fatal collisions across the City were the focus of the systemic collision matrices.
Separate matrices were prepared for collisions occurring within the intersection footprint and those along segments. This approach enabled collisions occurring in similar roadway environments to be viewed holistically and better understand potential citywide trends related to roadway safety.
The findings were used to propose countermeasures that can be implemented citywide. The formation of the systemic collision matrices, key findings and resulting recommendations are presented in Chapter 4 Highest Occurring Crash Types & Citywide Recommendations.
Neighborhood Countermeasures
A focus was placed on reviewing collisions occurring along two-lane roadways with a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour with the intent of recommending enhancements for consideration. This effort was in response to community member concerns related to safety within residential neighborhoods.
Collisions along two-lane roadways with a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour were identified and mapped citywide, indicating concentrations in some areas of the City. A toolbox of countermeasures appropriate within these environments was recommended.
High Collision Frequency Intersections and Segments
Collision frequencies were determined at individual intersection and segment locations.
Frequencies were looked at in terms of vehicular only, pedestrian-involved, bicycle-involved, all modes combined, as well as severe/fatal injury frequency. The high collision frequency analysis results are provided in Chapter 5 High-Collision Corridors and Intersections & Recommended Countermeasures. The findings from this exercise were used to assemble high collision corridors to identify site-specific issues and recommend countermeasures.
City of National City
Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program /
Focused Corridor Analyses
Using the high collision frequency results, seven corridors were assembled to identify issues that may exist in adjacent areas and determine the potential for corridor-wide recommendations.
The seven corridors encompass 11 high collision frequency segments and 30 high collision frequency intersections. The analysis results, issues identified, and recommended countermeasures are presented in Chapter 5 High-Collision Corridors and Intersections & Recommended Countermeasures.
Best Practices and Document Review
One of the initial steps undertaken as part of this project was to review documents that guide systemic safety analysis efforts and relevant planning documents from the City of National City.
The guiding documents were used to inform the overall analysis approach, resulting in the decision to identify high frequency collision intersections and segments by mode, and develop a citywide collision matrix to better understand the roadway environments where different crash types are occurring.
The City of National City documents reviewed consist of two documents types, 1) current documents related to the development of systemic safety analysis and report preparation; and 2) existing City of National City efforts including documents containing safety related policies, practices, and currently planned improvements. The following documents were included in the review:

4. Highest Occurring Crash Types & Citywide
Recommendations
An analysis was undertaken to identify citywide collision trends for pedestrians, bicyclists, and driver-only collisions. This effort examined characteristics attributed to collision records such as party-at-fault, cause, violation code, party action or movement, lighting conditions, time of day, and age. Roadway location – intersection or midblock – and intersection control type were also reviewed. These results informed the development of systemic collision matrices, used to better understand the behaviors and environments in which severe and fatal injury collisions occurred.
The matrix findings informed the development of citywide recommendations for consideration.
This chapter presents some of the findings from the citywide collision trend analysis, followed by the matrices and citywide recommendations. The complete collision trend analysis is provided as Appendix B.
Pedestrian Collisions
Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1 display injury severity by roadway location for the 167 pedestrian- involved collisions. A total of 36 collisions resulted in a severe injury or fatal situation, accounting for 22% of pedestrian-involved collisions, the highest rate of any of the three modes, an indication of the vulnerability of pedestrians compared to other users.
Pedestrian-involved collisions were most reported within intersections (63%, 106/167), including 56 records at signalized intersections, 48 at stop-controlled intersections, and 2 records at intersections with other control types. Of the 36 severe injury/fatal collisions, 21 were reported within an intersection, however, 73% (8/11) of the fatal pedestrian collisions occurred at mid- block locations. This may be attributed to the higher vehicle speeds inherent at these locations.

Figure 4-2 displays the party-at-fault by roadway location for pedestrian involved collisions where fault was assigned. No fault was assigned for 29 of the records, including 16 at intersections and 13 at mid-block locations. Drivers were more frequently assigned fault for collisions occurring at intersections (62% or 56/90 collisions where fault was assigned), while pedestrians were the leading party-at-fault for collisions reported at mid-block locations (73%, 35/48 collisions where fault was assigned). A bicyclist was assigned fault for one collision reported at a side-street stop-controlled intersection.
Figure 4-2 Pedestrian Collision Party-at-Fault by Roadway Location
Table 4-3 presents violation codes by level of injury severity for all pedestrian-involved collisions.
The most frequent violation code for all injury collisions was 21950(a), vehicles failing to yield to pedestrians within a crosswalk, was assigned to 38 of the 167 records. Violation code 21954(a), pedestrian failure to yield upon roadway outside of crosswalk, was the second leading violation code overall (30 collisions), although attributed to the greatest number severe injury or fatal collisions (9 collisions). Codes 21950(a) and 21955 – pedestrian not crossing at the crosswalk – were each assigned to five severe/fatal collisions, the second highest among severe/fatal collision records.

Figure 4-3 displays the driver movement preceding the 106 pedestrian collisions that occurred within intersections. Nearly half of the driver movements were reported as Proceeding Straight (46%, 49/106), followed by the driver Making a Left Turn (34%, 36/106). Nearly half of the signalized intersections collisions where the driver was found to be at-fault the driver was Making a Left Turn (48%, 15/31).
During all three fatalities within intersections, the driver was Proceeding Straight. Of the 10 severe injuries at intersections, the driver was Proceeding Straight half of the time (50%, 5/10), and making a turn preceding four collisions (3 left, 1 right).

Systemic Collision Matrices
The collision trend information presented in the previous sections was used to establish systemic collision matrices, with the intent of identifying characteristics related to behaviors and roadway environments where collisions were most prevalent. The matrices were constructed using behaviors (crash types and violations) as the rows, and roadway characteristics (intersection control, number of lanes, posted speed limit) as the columns.
Separate matrices were prepared for collisions occurring within the intersection footprint and those along segments. These two groupings were further refined to display matrix sets consisting of all injury collisions and those resulting in a severe injury or fatality. Recommendations were developed to address the citywide findings, intended to be implemented across similar environments.
Table 4-10 displays the intersection matrix for the 606 injury collisions that occurred within an intersection, regardless of mode. As shown, the leading two crash types were broadside (243 collisions) followed by pedestrian-vehicle (105 collisions).
Broadside injury collisions were most frequently reported at the following intersection types:
• Signalized intersections where four-lane and two-lane roadways intersect (50 collisions) • Side street stop-controlled intersections where four-lane and two-lane roadways intersect (44 collisions)
• Side street stop-controlled intersections where two two-lane roadways intersect (41 collisions)
Pedestrian injury collisions were most frequently reported at the following intersection types:
• Signalized intersections where four-lane and two-lane roadways intersect (22 collisions) • Side street stop-controlled intersections where four-lane and two-lane roadways intersect (22 collisions)
• Side street stop-controlled intersections where two two-lane roadways intersect (17 collisions)
The leading two crash types were further expanded using violation code groupings to better understand the behaviors leading to the collision. Drivers failing to yield or stop at the limit line was the most frequent violation for both crash types.
Table 4-11 isolates intersection collisions resulting in a severe or fatal injury, for a total of 45 records. Pedestrian collisions were the most common severe/fatal injury crash type at intersections (21 collisions), followed by broadside crash types (9 collisions).
The key issues identified with the systemic intersection matrix and resulting recommendations are presented in Table 4-12. The Caltrans LRSM countermeasure ID for the recommendation is also provided for each countermeasure.

Table 4-13 displays the matrix for the 371 segment or mid-block injury collisions. The leading two crash types reported along segments were rear end (92 collisions) and broadside (88 collisions).
Rear end collisions were most frequently reported along four-lane roadways with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (39 collisions). The leading violations or behaviors attributed to rear end collisions within this environment includes unsafe speed (17 collisions) and following too closely (12 collisions).
Broadside collisions were also most frequently reported along four-lane roadways with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (47 collisions). These collisions were most commonly associated with drivers failure to yield or stop at the limit line (24 collisions) and unsafe turning movements (11 collisions). These instances generally occurred at driveway locations.
Table 4-14 shows the severe and fatal injury segment matrix. Pedestrian-vehicle collisions were the leading crash type for severe/fatal injuries at mid-block locations, accounting for 14 of the 35 records. Pedestrian crashes most frequently occurred along four-lane roads with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (7 collisions). The pedestrian records were further expanded by the party-at-fault, indicating the pedestrian was at-fault in most collisions, due to crossing outside of designating crossing locations.

A total of 103 collisions were identified within these environments, including 57 collisions within the intersection footprint and 46 collisions along segments. Figure 4-7 displays the collisions across the City.
As shown, these collisions are most concentrated in the northwest part of the City. Intersection sight distance was identified as a potential issue. On-street parking is permitted up to the intersection at many locations in the northwest part of the City. Parked vehicles may obstruct driver visibility, specifically at side-street stop-controlled intersections, potentially resulting in scenarios where stopped vehicles having limited visibility of approaching vehicles on the uncontrolled intersection leg.
Table 4-16 provides a toolbox of neighborhood countermeasures to be considered within low- speed, low-volume environments. The Caltrans LRSM countermeasure name and ID are provided, where applicable.
NS11: Improve sight distance at intersections (clear sight triangles), is one countermeasure that may be used to address intersection visibility issues. This countermeasure has potential to be implemented systemically at a low-cost. Additional countermeasures listed in Table 4-16 that address this issue include:
• NS02 Convert to all-way STOP control (from two-way or Yield control) • NS03 Install signals
• NS04 Convert intersection to roundabout (from all way stop) • NS05 Convert intersection to roundabout (from stop or yield control on minor road)

Operation / Warning NS06 Install/upgrade larger or additional stop signs or other intersection warning/regulatory signs
Can be used to enhance visibility of stop signs, yield signs, or to warn drivers to anticipate pedestrians/bicyclists.
Operation / Warning NS07 Upgrade intersection pavement markings Improves intersection visibility to approaching motorists. Typical applications include “Stop Ahead” markings, centerlines and stop bars.
Operation / Warning NS08 Install flashing beacons at stop-controlled intersections Flashing beacons help reinforce driver awareness of stop signs. Most effective along segments with long stretches between intersections and locations where night-time visibility is an issue. Solar may be a source of power.
Operation / Warning NS09 Install flashing beacons as advance warning Flashing beacons help alert drivers to anticipate an upcoming control and mitigate crashes related to intersection regulatory sign violations.
Operation / Warning NS11 Improve sight distance to intersection (clear sight triangles) Adequate sight distance is an important factor to unsignalized intersection safety. Prohibiting parking at the intersection and removing or modifying landscaping or fixed objects and are examples of methods to improve sight distance. Some objects or landscaping may be located on private property, requiring coordination with the property owner.
Operation / Warning R22 Install/upgrade signs with new fluorescent sheeting (regulatory or warning)
Fluorescent yellow sheeting or other retroreflective material improves driver awareness of roadway signage.
Geometric
Modifications NS13 Install splitter-islands on the minor road approaches Limits vehicular access to right-in and/or right-out.
Geometric
Modifications Install speed cushions / humps (non-LRSM countermeasure) Helps encourage slower driver speeds. Speed cushions are intended to be spaced so as not to interfere with the larger wheelbases of emergency response vehicles. Most effective when multiple devices are deployed.
Pedestrian and Bike NS20PB Install pedestrian crossing at uncontrolled locations (signs and markings only)
Additional safety enhancements to improve visibility of the crossing location and reduce vehicle speeds should be considered. Curb ramps and/or sidewalk modifications may be required.
Pedestrian and Bike NS21PB/R35PB Install/upgrade pedestrian crossing at uncontrolled locations (with enhanced safety features)
Measures to improve visibility of a pedestrian crossing and/or shorten the crossing distance can enhance safety. Examples include advance stop/yield markings, curb extensions, additional signage, and in road flashing lights.

Table 4-16 Countermeasures for Neighborhood Streets
Type Countermeasure Notes
Pedestrian and Bike NS22PB Install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) An RRFB can increase driver awareness of a crossing and increase the effectiveness of crossing treatments. Can be deployed at intersection and mid-block locations.
Pedestrian and Bike R32PB Install bike lanes
Bike lanes provide a dedicated space for bicyclists, helping to facilitate predictable behaviors. Painted buffers can add additional separation between bicyclists and parked and/or moving vehicles. Implementation may require on-street parking removal.
Pedestrian and Bike R34PB Install sidewalk/pathway (to avoid walking along roadway) Providing sidewalks along both sides of the street can greatly reduce pedestrian-involved collisions. Curb ramps, crosswalks, lighting, and other features should be considered.
Pedestrian and Bike R36PB Install raised pedestrian crossing Suitable for lower speed roadways. Should be used in combination with additional signs and markings.

5. High-Risk Corridors & Recommended
Countermeasures
Collision frequency and severity was analyzed across the City for both intersections and mid- block locations. Those findings were then used to identify high-risk corridors. The collisions along each high-risk corridor were mapped against an aerial background while displaying the crash type and injury severity. This information was used to help identify potential safety issues and recommend countermeasures.
This chapter highlights the key analysis findings for intersections and segments, and the resulting high-risk corridors, as well as the corridor specific issues and countermeasures.
Intersection Collisions
Collision frequency was determined for severe or fatal injuries, by each mode individually, and for all modes combined. The 606 intersection collisions resulted in a total of 45 severe or fatal injury collisions when combining all modes.
Figure 5-1 identifies the location of each of the 45
intersection collisions that resulted in a severe/fatal injury. The 45 collisions resulting in severe or fatal injury a were reported at 40 unique intersections. Table 5-1 identifies the six intersections where more than one severe or fatal injury was reported.

Over the study period, there were nine severe or fatal injury collisions occurring at intersections along Highland Avenue – including two intersection locations where two severe or fatal injury collisions were reported (at 18
th Street and at Plaza Boulevard). Along 8th Street, a total of eight severe or fatal injury collisions occurred at seven unique intersections, including two at the intersection of Harbison Avenue and 8th Street.
Table 5-2 identifies the 25 intersections with the highest reported collision frequency for all levels of injury severity. Each of the leading 25 intersections experienced six or more reported collisions during the five-year study period. Figure 5-2 displays the high frequency collision intersections.

The following roadways include multiple high collision frequency intersections:
North-South
• Highland Avenue: 8 intersections
• Euclid Avenue: 6 intersections
• National City Boulevard: 3
intersections
• Harbison Avenue: 2 intersections
East-West
• Plaza Boulevard: 7 intersections
• 8th Street: 5 intersections
• Division Street: 3 intersections
• 16th Street: 3 intersections
• 18th Street: 3 intersections
Among these roadways, the high frequency collision intersections along Highland Avenue, Plaza Boulevard and Euclid Avenue were found to be near one another.
Segment Collisions
The initial step in determining segment or mid-block collision frequency involved segmenting roadways. Circulation Element roadways were split into smaller analysis segments at locations meeting any of the following conditions: 1) an intersection with another Circulation Element roadways, 2) roadway terminus, 3) city boundary, or 4) roadway cross-section change.
If a roadway meeting the criteria above resulted in a segment with a length of less than 0.10- miles, it was combined with an adjacent segment. Segments between freeway ramps were an exception to this, which were left intact due to the large volume changes outside of the ramps.
This process created a total of 165 unique segments. 322 of the 371 total segment collisions were captured by the network of Circulation Element roadways. The remaining 49 segment collisions occurred on non-Circulation Element roadways, including seven severe or fatal injury collisions.
The 371 segment collisions resulted in a total of 35 severe or fatal injuries. Figure 5-3 displays the locations where severe or fatal injury collisions were reported along segments, along with the frequency of all collisions for those segments. Table 5-3 identifies the collision frequency along segments where a severe or fatal injury collision was reported, along with the frequency of all injury collisions and collisions by mode.
The following corridors experienced multiple severe or fatal injury collisions along segments:
• Plaza Boulevard/Paradise Valley Road (6 collisions)
• 8
th Street (5 collisions)
• 30th Street/Sweetwater Road (3 collisions)
• Highland Avenue (3 collisions)
• Euclid Avenue (3 collisions)
• 16th Street (2 collisions)
