• Abstract:
  This work analyzed the pedestrian safety and overall traffic safety impacts – in terms of both motor vehicle speeds and crash outcomes – of several countermeasures applied to the Central Avenue arterial corridor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Countermeasures included a bus rapid transit (BRT) system, a road diet, and High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signals. Vehicle speed data was collected from StreetLight Data and crash data was provided by New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT).
