12 78 Feet Speeds above (35-45 mph) Speeds below (18-22 mph) La Jolla Boulevard, Bird Rock, San Diego, California (Five to two lane conversion, before). Four signals and one four-way stop being removed. Back-in Angled parking to be added. (23,000 ADT) 14 Feet

13 Every blizzard proves motorists prefer two lane roads Indeed they place medians and edge buffers on 4-lane roads when they get to design them (before snow plows arrive). So why not convert to 2-3 lanes, when conditions allow?

14 Abbott Road, E. Lansing, Michigan

16 California Street, Mountain View, California

17 Speed reductions of 3-7 mph are common Hartford, Connecticut

18 Motorist: Benefits Safety 25-40% improvement Traffic moves with greater uniformity Compact intersections more efficient Greater cost savings Turns are easier Senior friendly (as motorists) Others: Senior friendly (as pedestrians) Supports transit, walking and bicycling Emergency response friendly Increased property values (and tax base) Community economic development

19 This: One less travel lane; bike lanes; parallel to back-in diagonal parking on one side; new pavement This 5-lane Main Street was converted to Pottstown PA
