Poor Road Design (Unforgiving Roads) or Traffic System Hazards
Pedestrian Hazards
Pedestrians crossing from unmarked or undesignated areas
Faded or missing crosswalk markings
Obstructed pedestrian view at crossings
Poorly timed pedestrian signals
Sun glare affecting pedestrian visibility
Sun glare impairing pedestrians’ ability to see oncoming traffic or hazards
Poor street lighting near walkways
Sidewalk obstructions such as poles or parked vehicles
High vehicle speeds in pedestrian zones
Unforgiving design: No buffer zones between pedestrians and vehicles
Missing sidewalk
Ineffective barrier between pedestrians and high-speed vehicles (car, motorcycle, Ebikes, etc)
Other
School-age Pedestrian Hazards
Unsafe school zone crossings
Lack of crossing guards near schools
Inadequate pedestrian signals near schools
Parked cars blocking sightlines at school crossings
Poor visibility due to early morning or late afternoon sun
Unforgiving design: No dedicated pedestrian pathways or protective barriers near schools
Other unsafe design
Ineffective barrier between pedestrians and high-speed vehicles (car, motorcycle, Ebikes, etc)
Other
Bicyclist Hazards
Lack of dedicated bike lanes
Bike lanes obstructed by parked vehicles or debris
Poor road lighting affecting cyclist visibility
Intersections with unclear right-of-way for bicycles
High vehicle speeds near bike lanes
Road surface issues such as potholes or uneven pavement
Unforgiving design: Narrow bike lanes next to high-speed traffic
Ineffective barrier between bicycles and high-speed vehicles
Other
Motorcyclist Hazards
Poor road surface conditions causing instability
Lane merging conflicts with larger vehicles
Limited visibility at intersections
Poor nighttime visibility due to weak street lighting
Lack of median barrier for oncoming traffic separation
Poor road lighting leading to visibility issues
Poor road surface conditions affecting stability (i.e. potholes, cracks, weeds)
Other
Car Hazards
Sun glare reducing driver visibility
Blocked sight due to large vehicles, trees, or infrastructure
Faded or missing lane markings
Unclear or missing road signs
Lack of median barrier for oncoming traffic separation
Poor road lighting leading to visibility issues
Unforgiving design: Lack of rumble strips or warning signs at a sufficient distance before full-stop points
Other
Scooter/E-Scooter Rider Hazards
Numerous scooters riding chaotically
Poor road surface conditions affecting stability
Limited visibility at intersections
Road obstructions such as potholes or debris
Conflict with pedestrians on sidewalks
Other
E-Bike Rider Hazards
High-speed interactions with slower bicycles or pedestrians
Numerous e-bikes riding chaotic
Unforgiving design: Lack of separate lanes for e-bikes, leading to conflicts with both bikes and vehicles
Other
Poor Road Design (Unforgiving Roads) or Traffic System Hazards
Intersections requiring quick decision-making with no margin for error
Sharp curves with no visual cues or barriers
Poorly timed traffic signals leading to sudden stops
Merge lanes that leave little time for proper merging
No recovery space in case of sudden vehicle or cyclist movement
Guardrails or barriers too close to high-speed lanes
Roadside hazards such as poles, trees, or deep ditches without protective buffe
