Midtown Safety

MIDTOWN SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS

Center medians help keep traffic moving in Midtown.

Preventing cars from making left turns reduces crashes and helps keep pedestrians crossing the road safer. Now, drivers aren’t stuck waiting behind other drivers making left turns, or waiting for cars merging into the travel lanes.
