Walking to school, which was once a commonplace rite of passage, now makes up only a small minority of school trips. Multiple studies have shown that concerns are strongly linked to the physical environment that exists between home and school. Over the past decade, hundreds of projects have been funded through the Utah Safe Routes to School and Saf

Stop lines are ubiquitous, but do they really impact intersection safety? Prior to this project, no long-term studies on intersection safety with stop lines had been completed. This project was developed with two parallel research efforts: a safety study and an observational study. The safety study was developed to address stop lines’ effects over
