Abstract:

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) installed a road diet on Rowena Avenue in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake in 2013. The four-to-three lane conversion along the high-volume corridor resulted in fewer overall crashes and increased bicycle usage. Since the Rowena Avenue project, LADOT has implemented dozens of road reconfiguration aimed at enhancing safety along high-volume corridors and has 148 miles of road diets citywide.
