ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS <br />As part of the overall strategy for the corridor, <br />the team considered a range of roadway <br />improvements. Incorporating effective multimodal <br />transportation options within the study area <br />will rely heavily on provision of infrastructure <br />that safely and comfortably accommodates all <br />road users, connecting people with destinations <br />along Lorain Road in a manner that is useful and <br />appropriate. <br />High visibility crosswalks: <br />Resident feedback indicated that they would like <br />to walk more and improve the walkability of Lorain <br />Road. For multi -lane roadway crossings where <br />vehicle volumes are in excess of 10.000 Average <br />Annual Daily Traffic (AADT), a marked crosswalk <br />alone is typically not sufficient. High -visibility <br />crosswalks can reduce pedestrian injury crashes <br />up to 40% by utilizing patterns that are visible to <br />both the driver and pedestrian from farther away <br />compared to the existing transverse parallel lines. <br />Provision of enhanced pedestrian crossings at <br />existing signalized intersections will improve the <br />pedestrian safety and facilitate better access to <br />businesses and neighborhoods along Lorain Road. <br />LA <br />36 LORAIN ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY <br />
