1 Road Diets and Roundabouts Paul Zykofsky, AICP Local Government Commission Sacramento, CA Classic Road Diet 4 to 3 lanes San Antonio TX

2 On-street parking Median Bike Lanes Center Turn-Lane Seattle WA Road diets: reclaim street space for other uses 3 crash types can be reduced by going from 4 to 3 lanes: 1 rear enders X Road Diets and Traffic Operations

3 3 crash types can be reduced by going from 4 to 3 lanes: 2 side swipes X Road Diets and Traffic Operations 3 crash types can be reduced by going from 4 to 3 lanes: 3 left turn/broadside X Road Diets and Traffic Operations

4 Road Diets in Seattle (4 to 3 lanes) Benefits of road diets for bicyclists and pedestrians?! Provide space to add bicycle lanes! Reduce crossing distance! Eliminate or reduce multiple threat crash types! Install crossing island to cross in 2 simple steps! Reduce top end travel speeds! Buffer sidewalk from travel lanes (parking or bike lane)! Reclaim street space for higher and better use than moving peak hour traffic

15 Roundabouts Benefits: Injuries and crashes reduced 90% 30% more traffic capacity Gateway entry Pedestrian-friendly Low traffic speeds Reduced noise Reduced emissions Reduced maintenance Business-friendly Roundabout design characteristics Separated sidewalk to direct peds to crosswalks Splitter island Slow speed exit Truck apron Crosswalk 1 car length back Lots of deflection for slow speeds throughout Slow speed entry with yield Bend OR

16 Roundabouts are safer 32 vehicle-tovehicle conflicts 24 vehicle-topedestrian conflicts 8 vehicle-to-vehicle conflicts 8 vehicle-topedestrian conflicts Results of this study indicate that converting conventional intersections from stop sign or traffic signal control can produce substantial reductions in motor vehicle crashes. March 2000 Study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Before One pedestrian fatality per year Bradenton Beach, FL, Intersection of State Routes 684 and 789 After Zero pedestrian fatalities in over 8 years
