Arlington County Seeks Input on High Crash Corridors
Arlington County officials are inviting the public to share their feedback on five specific road corridors identified as having unusually high rates of traffic crashes. The request is part of the county’s ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety and reduce injury and deadly crashes.
Focus Areas Identified Through Data
The initiative is informed by Arlington’s High-Injuries Network Safety Audit Engagement, which uses crash data from the past five years to identify roads most affected by severe and fatal accidents. According to the latest findings, 6.6% of the county’s roadways account for more than half of all injury crashes.
Corridors Targeted for Public Feedback
The five high crash corridors selected for feedback are as follows:
- Fort Myer Dr. between Westbound Langston Blvd. and Arlington Blvd. (US Route 50) ramps
- George Mason Dr. between N. Carlin Springs Rd. and 6th St. S.
- Richmond Hwy. between 20th St. S. and 33rd St. S.
- S. Eads St. between S. Rotary Rd. and 26th Rd. S.
- Wilson Blvd. between N. Frederick St. and N. Quincy St.
Vision Zero and the Goal for 2030
This public engagement effort is part of the Arlington County Vision Zero plan, which aims to eliminate severe and deadly crashes by 2030. Officials believe that collecting public input on these high crash corridors will help in recommending effective safety interventions to reach this goal.
How to Participate
Residents and others who travel these routes are encouraged to submit their input on areas of concern and possible improvements. Feedback can be provided through a public input link by the end of the day on Friday, November 6.
County Officials Emphasize Community Role
Arlington County officials emphasize that public participation is crucial in shaping decisions that will lead to safer streets. The feedback collected will directly influence recommendations for enhancing traffic safety and reducing both the frequency and severity of crashes on these key road corridors.
