About
The All Roads Transportation Safety Program (ARTS) identifies intersections where a high concentration of crashes occur and then implements proven low-cost measures that help reduce crashes at these locations. The 54 intersections included in this project were along OR 8, OR 10, OR 47 and OR 219 in Washington County (see all work areas on the map below). Construction finished in Feb. 2025.
Improvements included upgrading traffic signals, lighting, signing and striping, adding buffered bicycle lanes, installing an enhanced pedestrian crossing and adding flashing intersection ahead warning signs. Some improvements at specific intersections included:
- SW 195th Avenue and SW Farmington Road
- Added a new crosswalk with a pedestrian-activated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) to reduce crashes between vehicles and pedestrians and increase visibility and driver awareness of a person crossing the road. This new RRFB will make it safer for people to cross Farmington Road and connect neighborhoods with nearby destinations such as bus stops, schools and parks.
- Added sidewalks and pedestrian curb ramps that meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
- Added new street lighting to improve visibility for all users.
- OR 47 at Maple Street and B Street
- Added a continuous flashing beacon at both intersections to warn drivers they're approaching an intersection.
- Added new intersection warning signs, road markings, and stop signs approaching these intersections.
- OR 219 at SW Burkhalter Road, SW Farmington Road and SW Bald Peak Road
- Added continuous flashing beacons at these three intersections, warning drivers traveling northbound and southbound that they're approaching an intersection.
- Added new intersection warning signs, road markings, and stop signs approaching these intersections.
