How can intersections be redesigned to lower car related accident rates,…

- - - - Speeding is one of the causes of deaths therefore by finding ways to decrease speeds through design, death or injury rates can decrease
    - - This was the highest reported rate since the year 2012. The problem is only getting worse as time continues.
    - - Car accident falities isn't only a United States problem but has
- - - - Speed bumps and humps are an effective way to decrease the speed of drivers. Driver speed will decrease resulting in fewer tragedies.
    - - The speedhumps in this case serve a dual purpose to not only make drivers slow down but also give pedestrians a place to crosses where motorists will slow down. It will give pedestrians better crossing conditions and will make drives decresae their speeds.
  - - - Once bulbous were introduced speeding significantly decreased making safer conditions for the road users since there is less of a chance of an accident happening
    - - Medians were successful in decreasing the amount of accidents. Not only do pedestrians make drivers slow down since they narrow roads but it also means that pedestrians shorter distances to walks meaning less exposure and therefore more safety.
- - - - Wider roads make drivers increase speeds so by extending sidewalks and adding medians makes the streets mor roads.
      - A non-motorists have space on roads it gives the space where they can use roads without worrying about anyone else. There woiuld be no competition for space. Instead everyone could use the roads safely. .
    - - Motorists havean advantage over pedestrians , speed. This leaves the pedestrians with a risk and being exposed. Decreasing the speeds of motorists in these intersections illuminates pedestrians vulnerability. Traffic calming would save lives in these kinds of intersection.
