Refuge Island Expanded Median Tip
Parking lane stipe and median channelization create standard-
width moving lanes, which better organize traffic and
discourage speeding
Cropsey Ave
Pedestrian refuge islands and expanded median tips shorten
crossing distances, provide refuge for slower pedestrians and encourage
slower, safer vehicle turns
Upgrade all crosswalks on the corridor to high-visibility
