Seven people were killed in 2017 alone.

S T E P S TO A S A F E R FEDERAL BOULEVARD3

1. Add traffic calming measures

2. Dedicate transit lanes

3. Revise state law

a. Raised, planted medians limit dangerous turning motions and slow tra�c.b. Pedestrian median refuges shorten crossing distances and provide a safe place to wait. c. High-visibility, mid-block crossings provide safe connections to destinations.d. Reduced turning radii slow turning vehicles and increase pedestrian space.

Dedicated transit lanes will reduce con�ict between travel modes, improve transit service, and help calm tra�c.

Automated speed enforcement—currently illegal on Federal Boulevard—is a proven technique used worldwide to reduce speed-related injuries and fatalites. When deployed e�ectively, it actually results in fewer citations as safer travel speeds become the norm.
