Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) Master Planned Development <br />Existing Conditions <br />October 2012 <br />vehicles at the split westbound approach making improper right turns and striking vehicles continuing <br />straight through the intersection. Three angle collisions at this intersection involved northbound <br />vehicles on High Street disregarding the traffic signal and striking westbound vehicles on 6 1 h Avenue. <br />Fourteen crashes were reported at the intersection of 7th Avenue and High Street. Nine of these crashes <br />were classified as angle collisions; eight involved vehicles disregarding the traffic signal (four <br />southbound and four eastbound) and one involved a vehicle traveling the wrong way on High Street. <br />Four crashes were classified as turn crashes; two involved westbound vehicles making improper left <br />turns and two involved northbound vehicles making improper right turns. <br />Fourteen crashes were reported at the intersection of Broadway Street and Hilyard Street. Nine of <br />these crashes were angle collisions involving northbound vehicles. Two of the collisions were <br />attributed to drivers not yielding the right -of -way; seven were attributed to drivers disregarding the <br />traffic signal or inattention. Three of the crashes were considered turning movement collisions <br />involving northbound vehicles. All three were attributed to drivers disregarding the traffic signal or <br />other traffic control device. The one pedestrian crash occurred in the westbound direction and was a <br />result of the driver not yielding the right of way. The Broadway / Hilyard Street intersection was <br />recently reconstructed and restriped, which may improve safety at this intersection in the future. <br />Based on the 2005 to 2009 crash data, none of the study intersections have a crash rate greater than 1.0 <br />crashes /MEV. Rear -end collisions were identified as the predominant crash type at the 4th <br />Avenue /Coburg Road intersection; future improvements at the intersection discussed later in this <br />report may improve safety at this intersection. No other patterns at the intersections indicate the need <br />for safety- related improvements.
