Other enhancements that may be considered to improve the safety performance of Shroyer Road include the following:

• Mid-block pedestrian refuge. A pedestrian refuge may be considered at mid-block locations on Shroyer Road. The pedestrian crossing would be designed to permit a half crossing of Shroyer Road. The pedestrian crossing may be equipped with a Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) to enhance the visibility of the crosswalk when pedestrians are present. Figure 7 from the City of Bloomington, Indiana depicts how an RRFB operates at a crossing.

• Street lighting. Crash analysis of Shroyer Road shows that crashes during non-daylight conditions comprise 26% of all crashes whereas the statewide average for similar roadways is equal to 36%. Existing street lighting on the east side of Shroyer Road may contribute to the improved performance of Shroyer Road when compared to the statewide average.

Despite the presence of street lighting on the east side of Shroyer Road, street lighting to improve illumination on the west side of Shroyer Road would enhance visibility during non-daylight conditions. Lighting at intersections can reduce crashes by as much as 31 to 38 percent (ODOT CRF table). Since lighting exists on the east side of Shroyer Road, the actual reduction of crashes will be less than published in the ODOT crash reduction factors. The addition of lighting on the west side would be expected to result in a net improvement to safety performance within the study area.
