3 Background The intersection of Route 1 at Everett Street and University Avenue was identified as a high crash location in the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) based on the 2010 and 2011 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) cluster data. Improvements at this intersection, to be constructed as part of the off-site mitigation related to the University Station mixed-use transit-oriented development to be located off of University Avenue in Westwood, are currently under review by the MassDOT Highway Division at the 25% Design Level. The MassDOT Highway Division Traffic and Safety Engineering 25% Design Submission Guidelines require a Road Safety Audit (RSA) be performed for all project-related high crash locations to identify safety issues and enhancements that may be implemented in conjunction with the University Station off-site mitigation project, as well as other measures that could be programmed for implementation by others in the mid-term or long-term timeframes. Project Data The RSA for the subject location was conducted on September 8, 2014 at the Westwood Municipal Building. The RSA Meeting Agenda is provided in Appendix A. Participating audit team members and their affiliation are listed in Table 1; team member contact information is provided in Appendix B. For this modified RSA, team members were encouraged to visit the location prior to the meeting to observe operations and evaluate potential safety issues, using MassDOT s Safety Review Prompt list for guidance. At the meeting, team members were provided with an aerial photograph of the location, and a collision diagram, summary table, and various bar charts analyzing motor vehicle crashes reported within the three year review period ( ). This material was reviewed by the team at the meeting in conjunction with street level views afforded by Google Earth. Table 1.

4 Motor vehicle crash data was provided by the Norwood Police Department for the most recent three year review period available ( ). The data provided includes 52 reported crashes, with sixteen (31%) resulting in personal injury, and no reported fatalities. Twenty-five (48%) of the crashes were rear-end crashes, fifteen (28%) were turning movement crashes, seven (13%) were sideswipe crashes, three (6%) were angle crashes, and two vehicles struck fixed objects. Eleven (21%) of the crashes occurred on wet pavement, and one in snowy conditions. Twenty (38%) of the crashes occurred during peak afternoon commuting hours (2 pm to 6 pm), and twelve (23%) occurred during the peak morning commute (6 am to 10 am). Project Location and Description Route 1 (Boston-Providence Turnpike) is typically a four-lane median-divided urban principal arterial under MassDOT Highway Division jurisdiction. Everett Street is a four-lane urban minor arterial under Town of Norwood jurisdiction. University Avenue is typically a three-lane urban minor arterial under Town of Norwood jurisdiction, with two travel lanes eastbound and one travel lane westbound. The posted speed limit on Route 1 is 45 miles per hour (mph); Everett Street and University Avenue are posted at 30 mph and 40 mph, respectively, approaching the intersection. Everett Street intersects Route 1 from the west and University Avenue intersects Route 1 from the east to form a four-way intersection under actuated traffic signal control. Each Route 1 approach consists of an exclusive left turn lane, two through travel lanes, and a channelized exclusive right turn lane. The Everett Street eastbound approach consists of two general purpose travel lanes. The University Avenue westbound approach consists of two general purpose travel lanes and an exclusive right turn lane. The existing traffic signal phasing provides for protected leading left turns on Route 1. The Everett Street and University Avenue phases run concurrently. Concurrent pedestrian phases for crossing Route 1 and University Avenue are activated upon pushbutton actuation. Bicycle detection is provided on the University Avenue approach only. Sidewalks currently exist along both sides of Everett Street and University Avenue, with curb ramps and crosswalks provided across the south, east and west legs of the intersection; the westerly crosswalk is currently unsignalized. A locus map and aerial photograph of the existing conditions are provided as Figure 1 and 2, respectively. Page 2

7 Audit Observations & Potential Safety Enhancements Observations: Congestion/Queuing Queues on Route 1 routinely extend south to the Neponset Street Rotary (1.5 miles) in the morning and north to the Route 1/I-95 interchange (1.25 miles) in the afternoon. This likely increases driver aggressiveness and leads to inattentiveness which, in turn, are likely contributing factors in many of the rear-end and turning movement crashes reported. Everett Street eastbound (to Route 1A) and University Avenue westbound also experience significant queues. Left-turning vehicles often do not yield to through vehicles, which can lead to turning movement and angle crashes. Vehicles have been observed to turn left from the center (through) lane on University Avenue and Everett Street. This is likely due to driver impatience because of the high volume of drivers turning left on a permissive phase through very heavy oncoming traffic. This could also be attributable to the lack of lane-use markings, as drivers may assume a double left is allowed, given the ample receiving width on Route 1 and no signs prohibiting it. This condition could contribute to turning movement or sideswipe crashes within the intersection, since drivers unfamiliar with the intersection would not expect it. Drivers who become impatient in the southbound queue sometimes use the median break at Lambert s, approximately 2,500 feet north of the intersection, to make a U-turn. Vehicles are observed to use the U-turn in all manners, staying to the left or staying to the right. It was observed that no striping exists at this median break to separate vehicles in either direction. No reported crashes were attributable to this condition, but it is a potential safety issue. Previous observations and worn paths in the grass indicate that motorists drive on the median to access the Route 1 southbound left turn lane when through queues extend beyond its entrance. No reported crashes were attributable to this condition. Signal Equipment & Operation The concurrent side street phasing and lack of exclusive left turn lanes were cited as likely causes of angle and turning movement crashes involving eastbound and westbound vehicles reported within the intersection. Red-light running was identified as a frequent occurrence. This could be attributed to a number of factors, including inadequate change and clearance intervals, aggressive driver behavior exacerbated by long delays, or vehicles becoming trapped in the intersection due to the concurrent side street phasing. It was observed that vehicles turning left from University Avenue attempt to beat Everett Street traffic at the start of the concurrent phase, with four to five cars getting through before Everett Street assumes the right of way. This aggressive behavior is likely a cause of turning movement crashes. Page 5
8 There is no emergency preemption system at the intersection. Emergency responders reported that they avoid this intersection and will not cross with lights and sirens on. Signal visibility is generally poor, given that the outdated short mast arms, supplemented by postmounted signals, do not locate signal heads over the lane to which they apply. Each Route 1 approach only has one overhead and one post mounted signal for the through movement. This signal is also isolated from adjacent signals on Route 1, allowing for high approach speeds in which drivers may not be expecting to stop. The mast arm mounted signal heads are mounted free-swinging, which has allowed the left-most signal head facing Everett Street to become misaligned, facing the Burger King driveway. This likely contributes to rear-end crashes, as drivers may not be aware if they have the right of way, then stop abruptly. Wrong Way Drivers Local police described occurrences of drivers that were neither elderly nor impaired turning left from Everett Street onto Route 1 southbound in the wrong direction. After review, it was observed that the lawn on the east side of Route 1 northbound visually blends with the grass median, obscuring the northbound roadway, due to the relative grades of the Everett Street approach and Route 1. The northern median nose also extends south into the intersection, exacerbating the issue by forcing eastbound left turning vehicles to maneuver around it. Abutter Access It was noted that vehicles turning left from Everett Street that intend to turn into Technology Way, approximately 300 feet north of the intersection, have a short distance to weave with vehicles turning right from University Avenue. No reported crashes were attributable to this condition; however, this is due to the proximity of the driveway to the intersection and also an indirect result of the concurrent side street phasing. Page 6
9 Vehicles from Route 1 southbound headed to Burger King often use the Everett Street driveway, cutting across the four lanes of Everett Street, rather than wait in the through queue and access the restaurant via the driveway on Route 1, immediately south of the intersection. This is likely the cause of two crossing maneuver crashes reported within the three-year review period. It was also noted that left turns out of Burger King to Everett Street are dangerous, given the number of lanes to cross, vehicles coming from various directions, and consistent queue of vehicles limiting a driver s visibility; though no reported crashes were directly attributable to this condition. Left turns into Burger King from Everett Street are also of concern. One reported turning movement crash of this manner may have been a courtesy crash, when one lane of traffic stops to allow the left turner through while a vehicle in another lane, unaware of the situation, hits the left turning vehicle. This is common where there are two lanes of traffic to cross. The McDonald s parking lot has the same concern. Three sideswipe crashes were reported on Everett Street westbound at the Burger King Driveway. One was due to a turning vehicle not signaling, and a second likely occurred when a vehicle switched lanes abruptly to bypass a stopped vehicle waiting to turn left into the business. This condition is worsened by the long eastbound queues which block driveways on Everett Street. Traffic sometimes queues onto Route 1 southbound from Irving Gas/Rojo Car Wash, south of the intersection. It was also speculated that short gap acceptance by drivers leaving this business causes traffic on Route 1 to merge to the left lane in this area. No reported crashes were attributable to this condition; however, these issues have been observed to impact Route 1 operations. It was noted that left turns out of the Central Auto dealership driveway to University Avenue are dangerous, given the number of lanes to cross, its proximity to the intersection, and limited sight lines due to cars parked on the corner by the dealership; though no reported crashes were directly attributable to this condition. Striping The intersection is very wide, due to the number of lanes on Route 1 and the width of the median. It was observed that there is no definition within the intersection to guide turning or through traffic, which may contribute to angle, turning movement, and sideswipe crashes. The shoulder striping on Route 1 southbound, north of the intersection, in the vicinity of Glacier Drive, was identified as a concern. Prior to Glacier Drive a shoulder taper is provided, while approximately 300 feet south of Glacier Drive, striping for the right turn lane to Everett Street begins. A right-in/rightout driveway for McDonald s is also located within this area, creating a no man s land that may be confusing to drivers. No reported crashes were located in this immediate vicinity. However, drivers also enter Route 1 in this area thinking that it is a third southbound through lane, which could be related to two sideswipe crashes reported at the intersection. Page 7
10 Pedestrian Accommodation Shrubs within the State Highway Layout, on the northwest corner of the intersection, restrict advance visibility to the pedestrian crossing between McDonald s and the median island within Everett Street. No sidewalks exist on Route 1, although there were no reported pedestrian crashes within the three-year review period. A number of nearby hotels and businesses were noted to generate pedestrian traffic. RSA members noted pedestrians using the paved shoulder and walking through abutting parking lots, which is a safety issue. It should be noted that any crash data in parking lots would not be included in this study. Pedestrians were observed crossing the northern leg of the intersection where there is no crosswalk. Bicycle Accommodation Limited bicycle accommodations exist at the intersection, consisting of bicycle detection on the University Avenue approach only. Maintenance A manhole on Route 1 southbound in the vicinity of Irving Gas/Rojo Car Wash is set too low and causes drivers to swerve to avoid, though no reported crashes were attributable to this. Illegal Turn One reported crash was the result of a vehicle making a left turn at the end of the channelized right turn lane from Route 1 northbound onto University Avenue westbound. There is currently no signage to prohibit this maneuver. Page 8
11 Potential Enhancements: 1. It is recommended that all traffic analysis at this location be calibrated to capture the demand volume rather than the volume processed by the intersection, given the significant peak hour queuing conditions. 2. Widen Route 1, Everett Street and University Avenue to provide additional lanes and/or turn lane storage to increase capacity and reduce queuing and delay. Consider utilizing a portion of the existing wide median on Route 1 for either a second left turn lane, a third through lane, or both, depending on traffic counts. This would reduce queuing which, in turn, should mitigate driver frustration, distracted driving, red-light running, and rear end crashes. This would also, improve accessibility to the left turn lane on Route 1 southbound. 3. Implement protected left turn phasing for the eastbound and westbound approaches. This could reduce angle, turning movement and rear end crashes. 4. Review feasibility of split-phasing eastbound and westbound movements, which would eliminate turning conflicts, but would likely increase already long queues. 5. Review change and clearance intervals to ensure that vehicles are afforded sufficient time to clear the intersection, which should reduce red-light running. 6. Install dilemma zone detection to reduce red-light running. 7. Install lane-use pavement markings and lane designation signs on all approaches to improve guidance and allow advance decision-making regarding lane assignment. 8. Restripe side street approaches to provide exclusive left turn lanes and allow protected left turn phasing to eliminate conflicting movements at the intersection, being careful not to design a lane trap. 9. Install striping at median break on Route 1 near Lambert s to clearly define intended operation. 10. Install advance street name ( Next Signal Ahead ) signs on Route 1 approaches to aid drivers in selecting the correct lane in advance of the intersection. 11. Install emergency preemption (Opticom) system to improve emergency response through the intersection. Provide detectors at a location on all approaches where the back of queue does not limit the timely activation of the system. 12. Replace existing mast arms and post-mounted signals with new mast arms to provide signal indications centered on each lane on the far side and improve signal visibility/recognition. Consider supplemental post mounted signals, given the isolation of this signal and approach speeds. Page 9
12 13. Install retroreflective borders on signal head back plates to improve signal visibility/recognition. 14. Realign eastbound signal head currently pointing at the Burger King driveway. 15. Consider installing concrete or other contrasting surface on the Route 1 median, immediately north of the intersection, to create a visual break between northbound and southbound travel lanes and reduce the occurrence of wrong-way vehicles. 16. Consider/install signs ( Do Not Enter and Wrong Way ) and pavement markings to discourage wrong way vehicles. It should be noted that MUTCD guidelines for signing intersections with divided highways with median widths less than 30 feet at the intersection do not include these signs. 17. Narrow Route 1 median to reduce travel distance for left turns from the side streets and minimize driver confusion regarding where to turn. 18. Pull back the northern median further north so that eastbound left turning vehicles have a clearer path to the northbound lanes. 19. Install larger Keep Right signs and/or delineators on Route 1 median to discourage wrongway turns from the side streets. 20. Consider installation of dotted extension lines to guide left turning vehicles through the intersection and reduce incidences of wrong way vehicles. 21. Review weaving distance between University Avenue and Technology Drive for possible conflict between vehicles having turned left from Everett Street and vehicles turning right from University Avenue. If warranted, revise signal phasing to prohibit those movements from occurring simultaneously. 22. Extend striping at the Everett Street channelized right turn median island to discourage access to Burger King and install No Left Turn or Right Turn Only sign at end of right turn lane. 23. Install signs to prohibit left turns to/from abutting driveways on Everett Street and University Avenue in the immediate vicinity of the intersection (Burger King/McDonald s/central Auto). 24. Install median on Everett Street and University Avenue approaches to prohibit turning movements to/from abutting driveways. 25. Modify the Burger King driveway on Everett Street to allow right-in/right-out only. 26. Evaluate the opportunity to construct an acceleration/deceleration lane or wider shoulder on Route 1 southbound, south of the intersection, to alleviate observed friction between through vehicles and vehicles turning to/from Burger King and Irving Gas/Rojo Car Wash. Page 10
13 27. Review striping and signing on Route 1 southbound in the vicinity of Glacier Road and consider modifying edge line, installation of additional right turn arrows and Right Lane Must Turn Right signs, and extension of the lane line. 28. Add dotted lane extension lines at exclusive turn lanes on all approaches to improve delineation. 29. Trim, remove or replace shrubs on the northwest corner to improve advance visibility to pedestrian crossing between McDonald s and the median island within Everett Street. 30. Install YIELD and pedestrian warning signs at pedestrian crossings of channelized right turn lanes on Route 1 northbound and southbound. 31. Install sidewalks on Route 1 to improve pedestrian accessibility. 32. Install crosswalk across northern leg of intersection to improve pedestrian accessibility. 33. Install and/or reconstruct curb ramps to improve pedestrian accessibility. 34. Install accessible pedestrian signals (APS) with countdown timers to improve pedestrian accessibility. 35. Provide bicycle detection and associated pavement markings. 36. Adjust manhole frame and cover to grade on Route 1 southbound in the vicinity of Irving Gas/Rojo Car Wash. 37. Install No Left Turn sign at end of channelized right turn lane from Route 1 northbound to University Avenue. 38. As part of long term planning and reconstruction efforts, provide grade separation between Route 1 and the two side streets. Page 11
14 Summary of Road Safety Audit Potential safety enhancements that were discussed during the RSA meeting and described in the previous section are summarized in Table 2. For each potential enhancement, an estimate of the safety benefit ( payoff ), approximate timeframe to implement, and cost are noted; the responsible party recommended to implement the enhancement is also identified. Safety payoff estimates are qualitative and categorized as low (<30%), medium (31% to 70%), or high (>71%). The time frame to implement each enhancement is categorized as short-term (<1 year), midterm (1 to 3 years), or long- term (>3 years). The cost estimates are categorized as low (<$10,000), medium ($10,001 to $50,000), or high (>$50,001). Enhancements where the developer is identified as the responsible agency and marked with an asterisk have already been incorporated into the 25% Design Plans for improvements at this intersection, to be constructed as part of the off-site mitigation related to the University Station mixed-use transit-oriented development to be located off of University Avenue in Westwood, which are currently under review by the MassDOT Highway Division.
