On-Street Parking

On-street parking can provide a buffer between pedestrians / bicyclists and the travel lane , increasing safety and comfort . It can also be used to manage speeds when adjacent to a travel lane , as parking maneuvers and driving next to parked vehicles create friction that slows drivers .

Relocate Select Hazardous Utility Poles

Relocating or removing utility poles from within the clear zone alleviates the potential for fixed-object crashes . If utility poles cannot be completely eliminated from within the clear zone , efforts can be made to either relocate the poles to a greater offset from the road or given high-visibility treatments .
