<br />1.0, and a breakdown of the types of collisions at each of these intersections is given in Table 3-8. As <br />shown in the table, the most prevalent collisions types were rear-end and turning movement collisions. <br />Together they accounted for 77 percent of the total collisions at the five high collision intersections <br />analyzed. This trend is expected at signalized intersections. Safety related improvements will be discussed <br />in a subsequent chapter of this report. <br />Table 3-8: Collision Breakdown for High Collision Intersections <br />Collision Breakdown <br />Total <br />Intersection Rate <br />Rear- Turning Side-Bike/ Fixed <br />Angle <br />End Movement swipe Ped Object <br />th <br />W 11 Ave/Bailey Hill Rd 2.37 63 29 14 5 4 - 115 <br />th <br />W 11 Ave/Oak Patch Rd 1.16 26 10 2 1 4 2 45 <br />th <br />W 7 Ave/Garfield St 1.16 12 18 6 8 1 - 45 <br />th <br />W 11 Ave/Seneca Rd 1.13 24 20 3 2 1 - 50 <br />th <br />W 11 Ave/Bertelsen Rd 1.02 16 15 7 7 - 1 46 <br />Percent of Total 47% 30% 11% 8% 3% 1% <br /> <br />Pedestrian Facilities and Activity <br />In general, sidewalk facilities are better in the downtown core. Sidewalk connectivity is relatively thorough <br />near the downtown area, but sidewalk gaps occur toward the western end of the study area as the land use <br />is more rural than the urban/city center. <br />Pedestrian crossing volumes at the study intersections were counted during the weekday vehicular AM and <br />PM peak hours and have been provided in Table 3-9. This table represents pedestrian volumes collected <br />during the vehicular peak hours (AM and PM) that cross either the major street (the east-west street in each <br />case), minor street, or all legs of the intersection. <br />th <br />As shown in Table 3-9, the two intersections with the highest pedestrian activity were West 11 <br />th <br />Avenue/Tyinn Street (74 during the PM peak hour) and West 11 Avenue/Oak Patch Road (46 during the <br />PM peak hour). At both intersections the majority of the pedestrian crossings during the PM peak hour (54 <br />th <br />and 33, respectively) were north-south movements across West 11 Avenue. The nearby shopping stores, <br />including a Fred Meyers, and several large multi-family apartment complexes on or near Oak Patch Road <br />contribute to the higher pedestrian volumes at these intersections. It is also likely that many of these <br />pedestrians are acc <br />ththth <br />The intersections of West 11 Avenue/Shopping Center, West 11 Avenue/Conger Street, West 11 <br />th <br />Avenue/McKinley Street, and West 7 Avenue/Garfield Street also had moderate pedestrian volumes <br />ranging from ten to 30 pedestrians during the AM and PM peak hours. The remaining intersections had ten <br />or fewer pedestrians during the AM and PM peak hours. If counts had been taken during the warmer <br />months of the year, it is likely that greater volumes would have been observed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />th <br />West 11 Avenue Corridor Study September 4, 2009 <br />City of Eugene P07265-003-000 <br />21 <br />
