HIGHWAY SAFETY INFORMATION SYSTEM
A road diet involves narrowing or eliminating travel lanes on a roadway to make more room for pedestrians and bicyclists…road diets may reduce vehicle speeds and vehicle interactions, which could potentially reduce the number and severity of vehicle-to-vehicle crashes. Road diets can also help pedestrians by creating fewer lanes of traffic to cross and by reducing vehicle speeds.
