Welcome
Overview:
Project Description:
Lower Lake Safety project aims to improve safety for everyone who uses the road. Potential changes include:
- Narrow vehicle lanes from 12 feet to 11 feet.
- Add space on the shoulder for people walking and riding bikes.
- Add lighting to make it easier to see at night.
- Add sidewalks.
- Add two crosswalks with pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHB). The PHBs will show red lights for drivers when pedestrians push the buttons to cross the highway.
- Upgrade guardrail to current standards.
- Add rumble strip on the shoulder to alert drivers when they drift out of the lane.
- Add raised concrete medians to slow drivers. This could make crossing the street easier for people who are walking.
Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to improve safety for all road users and to reduce the frequency and severity of collisions occurring within the project limits.
Need:
This project was initiated in response to Traffic Investigation Report (TIR) 231-0012MZ. The TIR reported 1 fatal and 3 serious injury collisions out of 16 total collisions within the two years from January 2019 to December 2020. Collisions in the dark account for 9 of the 16 collisions. The TIR recommended speed management elements.
