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

Anti Trespassing Panel for Rail Road Crossing

Truck Climb Lane
