Safe Intersection Design

Basics

• This page aims to go over design principles for Safe Intersections of Roads/Streets
• Some overlap with Complete Streets / Concepts like Conflict Points etc, but much more of this page lies with things like Landscaping and other small scale choices

Areas of Concern

Major Road Intersections

• This is more on the Urban Planning side so not TOO relevant to OSE
• May still apply though so good thing to document eventually

Parking Lot/Commercial or Industrial Driveways

• While they may not have the traffic flow or speed of a major road, Trucks/Heavy equipment may still frequent some of these areas
• Also granted FeF may not exactly have a fleet or swarms of people and their vehicles (yet) but this is something to consider
• Landscaping choices, as well as Signage+ Convex Safety Mirrors etc can help
• Also Pavement Markings / Lighting or Speed Bumps etc to an extent but much of this is overkill/out of scope
• Main thing is removing/alleviating blindspots+communicating them to people new to the area before someone gets t-boned/scraped on something etc
• ”Fender Benders” can be pricey!
