Designing safer streets: Safe and attractive options for all users

摘要

The City's streets are unique because of the mix of people using the same space. Planning for safety, which is at the heart of every DOT initiative, means helping pedestrians, motorists, bus riders, and cyclists coexist safely. Here our focus has been on organizing the different streams of traffic - by simplifying intersections; by creating dedicated lanes for turning drivers and for cyclists; and by setting aside signal time and safe space for crossing pedestrians.
