There
are 17 intersections in the downtown area being evaluated for the use
of curb bulbs. The majority of the angle collisions in these intersections
have common factors such as slippery pavement, failure to yield, and/or
traffic control device disregarded. Intersections with on-street parking
up to the intersection with no curb bulb hinders the driver's ability
to spot the stop sign located at least 12 feet behind the curb line and
allows a parked car to completely obstruct vision of the stop sign.
Install
curb bulbs at all corners (of the 17 studied intersections) with adjacent
on-street parking
Install
inlaid stop bars to better maintain striping visibility and to maintain
awareness that drivers need to stop
