Safety is our priority
As part of the study we look at land use, future growth and how potential solutions can make it safer whether you drive, ride, walk or roll in the area.
In the study area, the highest number of crashes were caused from vehicles:
- Not yielding.
- Failing to avoid other vehicles.
- Following other vehicles too closely.
The three intersections with the most crashes over a five year period in the study area were:
- Garden Valley Boulevard at Northbound Off-Ramp / NW Mulholland Drive – 47 crashes.
- Garden Valley Boulevard at Stewart Parkway – 43 crashes.
- Garden Valley Boulevard at Southbound Off-Ramp – 24 crashes.
It's important to consider all users. We found:
- Bike lanes and sidewalks adjacent to heavy traffic are uncomfortable and stressful for most bicyclists to use.
- The highest instances of bicycle or pedestrian-related crashes occurred downtown, Garden Valley Boulevard between the interchange and the railroad tracks and on Harvard Avenue near Roseburg High School.
Below are maps showing where crashes have occured in the project study area. Please
let us know if you have any personal experiences, concerns or considerations you'd like us to know about as we look at solutions and safety improvements.
