FHWA COUNTERMEASURES CONSIDERED
OTHER CRASH TYPES CAN BE ADDRESS
SYSTEMIC VERSATILITY OF COUNTERMEASURES
ROADWAY LIGHTING
Nighttime rear end and angle crashes
Vehicle pedestrian crashes during dawn/ dusk hours
Pedestrian crashes at signalized intersections
Motorcycle crashes at dark, unlighted locations
To maximize citywide impact, each countermeasure was also assessed for its broader applicability beyond its associated crash profile. This enables Fort Worth to address current safety issues while anticipating future risks as roadway conditions, travel behaviors, and crash trends evolve.
PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACONS (PHBS)
Pedestrian crashes near transit stops
Midblock pedestrian crashes
Pedestrian crashes on multilane roads
Crashes involving yielding conflicts at uncontrolled crossings
The table on the right summarizes these versatile applications, supporting a proactive, scalable, and resilient safety strategy for the city.
CROSSWALK VISIBILITY ENHANCEMENTS
Pedestrian crashes at uncontrolled intersections or midblock locations
Nighttime pedestrian crashes at marked crosswalks
Crashes involving turning vehicles at crosswalks
LANE RECONFI- GURATIONS
Bicycle crashes due to lack of lateral separation
Speed related crashes in urban settings/ commercial districts
Rear end crashes from left turning vehicles
Angle crashes at driveways and minor streets
LEADING PEDESTRIAN INTERVALS (LPIS)
Conflicts in high pedestrian activity zones
Crashes where pedestrians are hit in crosswalks by vehicles turning right or left
Turning vehicle vs. pedestrian crashes at signalized intersections
Transit Island
Dynamic Speed Sign
PEDESTRIAN REFUGE ISLANDS
Elderly or slower- moving pedestrian crashes
Pedestrian crashes on multilane roads
Crashes where pedestrians misjudge gaps in traffic
SEPARATED BIKE LANES
Bicycle crashes at high-speed corridors
Conflicts at intersections involving right-turning vehicles
Bicycle-motor vehicle sideswipe and overtaking crashes
Motorcycle Warning Sign
Crosswalk Visibility Enhancement
ENHANCED DELINEATION AND FRICTION FOR HORIZONTAL CURVES
Lane departure crashes on curves
Nighttime crashes at rural horizontal curves
Wet weather single- vehicle crashes
R CUTS OR MEDIAN UTURN
Crashes at intersections with high left-turn volumes and limited gaps
Multi-threat crashes involving pedestrians crossing multiple lanes
Rear-end crashes from delayed left-turn movements
High-speed left-turn crashes on divided highways
Head-on and angle crashes at uncontrolled median openings
