Raised Intersection
•
Elevates the intersection to bring vehicles to the sidewalk level . Serves as a traffic calming
• measure by extending the sidewalk context across the road .

This appendix contains engineering and non-engineering countermeasures for improving transportation safety in Arlington . These countermeasures are recommended to address specific conditions related to common crash types , which have been identified through a combination of crash data analysis and review of key locations . Many of these countermeasures are found in the Federal Highway Administration ’ s Proven Safety Countermeasures , and they can be advantageous for use in Highway Safety Improvement Program ( HSIP ) grant funding applications . There are many effective safety countermeasures beyond those listed here . The intent is to provide a set of candidate tools for improving transportation safety , to include guidance on the potential impacts and cost of implementation for each countermeasure .
