While corridors were easily prioritized by stakeholders , the top intersections were slightly more difficult to prioritize , as results varied between in-person meetings and survey responses . However , the following intersections are potentially identified as top intersections , depending

upon the individuals asked :

• North Collins Street and East Lamar Boulevard

• South Cooper Street and West Pioneer Parkway

While survey participants found North Collins Street and East Lamar Boulevard the intersection of most concern , in-person respondents did not perceive it to be the same , as they considered South Cooper Street and West Pioneer Parkway to be the most troubling . North Collins Street and East Randol Mill Road was an intersection with similar prioritization for all groups , as was Matlock Road and West Pioneer Parkway and several others .

General Concerns

The Safe Streets Arlington project team collected numerous comments as to what stakeholders

think the contributing factors are in crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries . In addition to

speeding , several other important themes were provided . Reoccurring themes included red light running and the lack of visible road striping . Some stakeholders stated that a lot of traffic stripes have faded , resulting in potential injury for motorists , bicyclists , and pedestrians . Others stated

that vehicles often stop on pedestrian walkways , which could harm pedestrians and bicyclists . A

few stakeholders stated that speed limits are too fast for the traffic and congestion . Wrong-way

driving contributes to some of the issues , too .
