Page 1 Background
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Highway Division Safety Section conducts
Road Safety Audits prior to the design phase for any MassDOT project that includes a high crash location.
A Road Safety Audit is defined by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as a formal safety
performance examination of an existing or future road or intersection by an independent, multidisciplinary
team. The purpose of a road safety audit (RSA) is to identify potential safety issues and possible
opportunities for safety improvements considering all roadway users.
A review of the MassDOT top crash locations database showed that the intersection of Montvale Avenue at
Washington Street was a 2010 and 2011 Highway Safety Improvement project (HSIP) cluster. The segment
of Montvale Avenue between Washington Street and Rainin Road has been noted as having a top 200
intersection cluster for the years 2008-2010, 2009-2011, and 2010-2012. This segment was also noted as
having an HSIP cluster of vehicles in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Any potential safety enhancements that are identified during the RSA can be evaluated and included as part
of any future or current design process. Any short-term, low-cost potential improvements should be
considered by the responsible agency for implementation prior to any significant reconstruction efforts.
ProjectData
VHB conducted an RSA on Monday, December 8, 2014. The audit was held in the Engineering Conference
room at City Hall in Woburn, MA. Members of the audit team discussed safety issues, conducted a site visit
and determined potential countermeasures during the audit on the infrastructure and operating conditions of
the study area. The members of the team comprised of representatives from local, regional, and state
agencies ranging from first responders to transportation planners and engineers. The members and their
affiliations are provided in Table 1. Contact information for the audit team members is provided in
Appendix B.

VHB compiled crash data for the audit area using Crash Reports from July 2009 through August 2014 obtained from the City of Woburn. From this data, collision diagrams were prepared and the crash history was summarized in tabular and chart format included in Appendix C. A pre‐audit meeting was held at 10 Common Street (Woburn City Hall) for the RSA prior to the site walk with all participants to review the materials provided by VHB. Participants were reminded that the RSA was a collaborative effort to ensure a thorough understanding of the roadway deficiencies and safety concerns. As an active discussion, participants provided an initial list of specific issues and concerns. Armed with this information and the Safety Review Prompt List provided by MassDOT, the audit team walked the segment of Montvale Avenue in question to review the safety issues identified in the pre‐
meeting and identify additional concerns to be added to the list. Following the site walk, participants held a post‐meeting to discuss potential short‐term, intermediate and long‐term countermeasures for each safety concern. ProjectLocationandDescription
Montvale Avenue is an east-west corridor functionally classified as an Urban Principal Arterial and
connects Main Street in Stoneham, MA to Main Street in Woburn, MA. This audit comprised the section
between Central Street and Hill Street/I-93 SB Off-Ramps. Montvale Avenue is under City of Woburn
jurisdiction between Central Street and Rainin Road. East of Rainin Road to the I-93 Interchange Ramps
are under State jurisdiction. For the RSA, the project has been divided into six study areas (see Locus
Map on Page 5).
StudyArea 1:
Central Street is a north-south roadway intersecting Montvale Avenue to form a four-way signalized
intersection. Each approach to the intersection provides an exclusive left turn lane and a shared thoughright lane. Crosswalks are also provided on each approach. The traffic signal currently operates with a
protected lead phase for left-turns for both approaches on Montvale Avenue and an exclusive pedestrian
phase. There are sidewalks on both sides of each approach, with the exception of the west side of the
Central Street northbound approach. Land use in the area consists of residential and commercial uses.
There is an elementary school located in the northwest corner of the intersection. There are currently school
speed limit signs of 20mph when flashing on both approaches of Montvale Avenue and there are no other
posted speed limit signs in the area. Speed regulations indicate a speed limit of 35 mph on Montvale
Avenue west of Central Street and 30 mph on Montvale Avenue east of Central Street.
Of the 26 crashes reported at this intersection, the majority were rear-end crashes (42%-11 crashes). The
remaining crashes included angle crashes (38% - 10 crashes), one single vehicles crash, two head on
crashes, and three sideswipe crashes. The most common cause for the crashes was “Inattention” (31% - 8
crashes). Crashes were most common in the winter months of February (19% - 5 crashes) and March
(19% - 5 crashes). Seven of the vehicles involved in the 26 collisions experienced significant physical
damage. Forty-eight percent of the crashes involved drivers between the ages of 30-49 years old.
Page 3 StudyArea 2:
Montvale Avenue between Central Street and Washington Street is a two lane roadway within the vicinity of the audit. Sidewalks are provided along both sides of the roadway. The land uses along this segment of Montvale Avenue consists of retail, commercial and residential uses. The major business
along this section is a convenient store, a dry cleaner and a liquor store. It should be noted that the
majority of businesses in this section are quick turnaround businesses.
Of the 18 crashes reported at this intersection, the majority were rear-end crashes (39%-7 crashes) and
angle crashes (39% - 7 crashes). The remaining crashes included two single vehicles crash, and two
sideswipe crashes. The most common cause for the crashes was “Inattention” (33% - 6 crashes). Crashes
were most common in the month of May (22% - 4 crashes). Two of the vehicles involved in the 18
collisions experienced significant physical damage. Forty-five percent of the crashes involved drivers
between the ages of 21-39 years old. StudyArea 3:
Washington Street is a north-south urban minor arterial roadway that intersects Montvale Avenue to form
a four-way signalized intersection. This intersection is located approximately 800 feet to the east of
Montvale Avenue at Central Street. Montvale Avenue eastbound provides a dedicated left-turn lane and a
shared through-right lane. Montvale Avenue westbound provides a dedicated left-turn lane and a through
lane and an exclusive right-turn lane. Washington Street northbound provides a shared left-through lane
and a dedicated right-turn lane. Southbound on Washington Street there is a dedicated left-turn lane and a
shared through-right lane. There are crosswalks on each approach as well as sidewalks on both sides.
Land use in the area is mainly commercial. There are no speed limit signs in the area. The speed
regulations indicate a speed limit of 30 mph on Montvale Avenue and 25 mph on Washington Street.
There is a truck restriction on Washington Street. Commercial vehicles over 2.5 tons are not permitted
from 9 PM to 6AM. The traffic signal currently operates with a protected/permissive phase for the
Montvale Avenue westbound and Washington Street southbound left-turns. There is an exclusive
pedestrian phase at this location.
Of the 60 crashes reported at this intersection, the majority were angle crashes (50%-30 crashes). The
remaining crashes included rear-end crashes (28% - 17 crashes), sideswipe crashes (15% - 9 crashes),
three single vehicles crash, and one head on crashes. The most common cause for the crashes was “Failed
to yield to right of way” (12% - 7 crashes). Crashes were most common in the months of January (13% 8 crashes), April (12% - 7 crashes) and November (12% -7 crashes). Eight of the vehicles involved in the
60 collisions experienced significant physical damage. Twenty-three percent of the crashes involved
drivers between the ages of 21-29 years old.
StudyArea 4:
Montvale Avenue between Washington Street and Rainin Road is a wide two lane roadway within the
vicinity of the audit. The existing roadway with is approximately 35’-4”. Sidewalks are provided along
both sides of the roadway. Albany Street intersects Montvale Avenue from the south to form an
unsignalized t-intersection along this segment. The land uses along this segment of Montvale Avenue
consists of a variety of a retail, restaurant and commercial establishment as well as residential uses. There are many curb cuts along this roadway segment. Some driveways have turn restrictions but most allow full entry and egress from the driveways.
Page 4 Of the 119 crashes reported at this intersection, the majority were angle crashes (80%-95 crashes). The
remaining crashes included rear-end crashes (7% - 8 crashes), seven sideswipe crashes, seven single
vehicles crash, and two head on crashes. The most common cause for the crashes was “Failed to yield to
right of way” (31% - 37 crashes). Crashes were most common in the months of February (13% - 16
crashes), May (13% - 16 crashes) and August (15% -18 crashes). Nine of the vehicles involved in the 119
collisions experienced significant physical damage. Twenty-six percent of the crashes involved drivers
between the ages of 21-29 years old.
StudyArea 5:
Rainin Road (formally known as Mack Road) intersects Montvale Avenue from the north to form an
unsignalized t-intersection. This intersection is located approximately 725 feet to the east of Montvale
Avenue at Washington Street. There are no sidewalks on Rainin Road and no marked crosswalks within
the vicinity of the intersection. There are currently no pavement markings or signage on Rainin Road.
Within the vicinity of the intersection there is a hotel, restaurants, and gas stations. The speed regulations
indicate a speed limit of 30 mph on Montvale Avenue near Rainin Road.
Of the 28 crashes reported at this intersection, the majority were angle crashes (68%-19 crashes). The
remaining crashes included rear-end crashes (21% - 6 crashes), one single vehicles crash, and two head
on crashes. The most common cause for the crashes was “Inattention” (25% - 7 crashes). Crashes were
most common in the months of April (18% - 5 crashes) and July (18% - 5 crashes). Two of the vehicles
involved in the 28 collisions experienced significant physical damage. Twenty-eight percent of the
crashes involved drivers between the ages of 30-39 years old.
StudyArea 6:
Hill Street from the south and the I-93 SB off-ramp from the north intersect Montvale Avenue to form a
four-way signalized intersection. This intersection is located approximately 275 feet to the east of
Montvale Avenue at Rainin Road. Montvale Avenue eastbound provides a through lane and a throughright lane. Montvale Avenue westbound provides an exclusive left turn lane and two through lanes. Hill
Street provides one left-through-shared lane. The I-93 SB off-ramp provide and exclusive left turn lane, a
through lane and an exclusive right turn lane under “yield” control. There are marked crosswalks across
Montvale Avenue westbound, the I-93 SB off-ramp and Hill Street. There are pedestrian signal
indications for the Montvale Avenue westbound crosswalk. The crosswalks across Hill Street and I-93
SB off-ramps do not have any pedestrian signal indications. There are sidewalks along all approaches
except for the I-93 SB off-ramp approach. There are no speed limit signs in the area. The speed
regulations indicate a speed limit of 30 mph on Montvale Avenue. It should be noted that there is a
possibility of some new development going into the old “Jello” site that is located on Hill Street.
Depending the development size and type it might generate additional traffic at this intersection.
Of the 41 crashes reported at this intersection, the majority were rear-end crashes (51%-21 crashes). The
remaining crashes included angle crashes (32% - 13 crashes), six sideswipe crashes, and one rear to rear
crash. The most common cause for the crashes was “Inattention” (22% - 9 crashes). Crashes were most
common in the months of April (20% - 8 crashes) and September (15% -6 crashes). Eight of the vehicles
involved in the 41 collisions experienced significant physical damage. Twenty-seven percent of the
crashes involved drivers between the ages of 21-29 years old.

Traffic Control; Pavement Markings and signage; Intersection Geometry; Access Management; Pedestrian and Bicycle Accommodation A summary of the major safety concerns are as follows: SafetyIssue:TrafficControl
Observations
The intersection of Central Street at Montvale Avenue is 800’ from the intersection of Washington Street at
Montvale Avenue and the intersection of Hill Street/I-93 SB off-ramps is 1000’ east of Washington Street.
Drivers receive a green indication at one of the audit area locations and are unable to proceed through the next
intersection. The audit team noted that there is no coordination between any of the traffic signals within the
audit area leading to long queue lengths at both intersections during both the AM and PM commutes. An
incident on I-93 or I-95 can worsen this scenario by adding more volume and congestion to the already over
capacity Montvale Avenue corridor. Five (5) of the 26 crashes at the intersection of Central Street at Montvale
Avenue are rear-end crashes that were heading westbound on Montvale Avenue. Seven (7) of the 60 accidents
at the intersection of Washington Street at Montvale Avenue were also rear-end crashes. Lastly, 8 of the 41
crashes at the intersection of Hill Street/I-93 SB off-ramp. No coordination between intersections might be a
contributing factor to some of these rear-end crashes between signalized locations.
The audit team noted that the intersection of Montvale Avenue and Central Street and Montvale Avenue and
Washington Street do not allow enough clearance time for drivers to clear the intersection before the next
phase begins. There were 6 crashes associated with red light running at Central Street, 5 crashes at
Washington, and 7 crashes as Hill Street/I-93 SB off-ramp intersections.
Page 7 The audit team noted the pedestrian signal at southwest corner of the Central Street at
Montvale Avenue is concurrently displaying don’t walk and walk symbols during the walk phase. This gives
confusing information to pedestrians and violates the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control (MUTCD).
It was noted by the audit team, that the existing pedestrian crossing is an exclusive phase which causes
unnecessary delay to the Central Street at Montvale Avenue intersection when activated especially at with the
nearby elementary school during the AM commute.
PossibleSafetyenhancements
1. As a short term measure, consider coordination during peak periods along Montvale Avenue
between Central Street, Washington, and the Hill Street/I-93 SB off-ramps using a time based
system.
2. Consider coordinating the I-93 NB Ramps as well as Maple Street with the other locations in the
audit area as one system. It is noted that outside of the audit area there are two additional traffic
signals that are in close proximity to the Hill Street/I-93 SB off-ramp intersection and should be
considered as part of a comprehensive traffic control system. Montvale Avenue at the I-93 NB
Ramps is located 950’ to the east and Montvale Avenue at Maple Street is 250’ to the east of the I93 NB Ramps.
3. As a long term measure consider coordination using a hardwire connection between traffic signal
controllers at these locations.
4. An adaptive traffic signal system could be considered as a long term improvement to help adjust
signal timing of red, yellow and green lights to accommodate changing traffic patterns and ease
traffic congestion.
5. As a short term improvement the yellow change and red clearance times can be recalculated based
on current standards and adjusted in the controllers.
6. It was noted that the pedestrian phase is exclusive. As a short term measure change the phasing
from an exclusive pedestrian phase to a concurrent pedestrian phases at Central Street to reduce the
overall delay of the intersection. Since it was noted that the right turn volumes at Central Street
were low it was suggested to run the pedestrians concurrently with the vehicle phases to reduce
delay at this location. 7. As a short term improvement the pedestrian signal head can be fixed to only display walk during
the walk phase.
8. As a short term measure, consider additional police enforcement of vehicles running red lights.
Page 8 SafetyIssue:PavementMarkingsandSignage
Observations
Members of the audit team noted that,
Montvale Avenue eastbound and Central St back up each morning and afternoon due to school drop-off and
pick-up. The AM queue on Montvale Ave backs up to the Railroad Bridge (approximately 750’ away from
stop line). It was noted that the backup due to the school usually dissipates within 15 minutes.
The audit team members noted that there is an elementary school at the northwest
corner of Central Street at Montvale Avenue. There are currently School Zone signs on both approaches of
Montvale Avenue. The sign on the westbound approach is not obvious to drivers. The signs are a mixture of
fluorescent yellow and yellow color and there are no school pavement markings at the intersection.
Members of the audit team suggested that there is
not enough capacity on Montvale Avenue eastbound between Central Street and Washington Street causing
vehicles to queue through the Central Street intersection. There were two rear-end and four angle crashes at
this location that might have been due to excess vehicle queuing at this location. Fifty percent (50%) of the
Page 9 crashes occur between 4-8PM which is when the majority of the queuing occurs. It was suggested that the
Montvale Avenue westbound left turn lane at Central Street could be eliminated due to low volume. This
additional width could be used to provide two lanes eastbound between Central and Washington Street. It was
noted by doing this, drivers may be forced into the left turn only lane at Washington Street.
Members of the audit team noted that drivers trying to
avoid the lengthy right turn queue on the I-93 SB off-Ramp, proceed straight to the left lanes and make a right at
the traffic signal.
It was noted by the audit team that the bus stop at the Hill Street/I-93
Southbound off-ramps at Montvale Avenue is on the westbound approach side of the intersection. There is
currently no crosswalk across Montvale Avenue where the bus picks up and drops off. Pedestrians have to
either cross the I-93 Southbound off-ramp approach and then cross Montvale Avenue to Hill Street within
existing striped crosswalks or they cross Montvale Avenue directly with no traffic control or formal
crosswalks. It was observed that the crosswalks across Hill Street and the I-93 approach do not have any
pedestrian push buttons or pedestrian signal indications. It should be noted that there are existing wheelchair
ramps with the existing crosswalks but they do not meet current ADA requirements.
Page 10 Some of the audit team members noted that there are too many signs along the
corridor that tend to confuse motorists. Police have trouble enforcing these signs since there are too many signs
providing conflicting information and overall congestion of the corridor does not allow for many locations
where police officers could pull a driver over with causing more back up and delay. Some of these include the
time of day truck restriction signs on Washington Street approaches and the no left turn and right turn signs
into and out of the commercial driveways along Montvale Avenue. Also, sidewalks are cluttered with signs,
utility posts and traffic signal equipment making it hard for pedestrians to navigate the sidewalk.
It was also noted by the audit team that vehicles heading eastbound on Washington Street wanting to make a
left turn into the gas stations or Dunkin Donuts during heavy traffic periods sometimes block traffic causing
vehicles to back through the signal at Washington Street.
In 2012 the Hess Station at the north east corner of Montvale Avenue at Washington Street opened. As part of
the project, a right turn lane was added to the Montvale Avenue westbound approach to Washington Street.
This was a major improvement to the Montvale Avenue corridor by helping the right turn vehicles get out of
the queue in the westbound direction.
The audit team noted that Utica Street is used as cut through street for traffic that is traveling eastbound on
Montvale Ave between Central and Washington Streets. Drivers headed eastbound take a left onto Central take
a right onto to Utica Street followed by a left onto Washington Street. During the peak hours, eastbound
through traffic is typically backed up from Washington Street through Central Street over the railroad bridge
and beyond. Drivers will bypass this long queue by using Utica Street as a detour.
PossibleSafetyenhancements
1. As a short term measure consider updating school zone signs along Montvale Avenue at Central
Street to meet current standards. Also consider providing school zone signs and pavement markings
along Central Street in front of the school entrance.
2. Members of the audit team noted that there is excess pavement width on the Montvale Avenue
eastbound approach to Central Street. It was suggested that the eastbound approach be restriped to

provide a longer left turn lane. As a short term measure consider restriping the Montvale Avenue
eastbound left turn lane at Central Street to provide a longer left turn lane
As a short term measure, the Montvale Avenue left turn lane at Central Street can be eliminated.
Additional width could be used to provide two lanes eastbound between Central and Washington
Street. However it should be noted that this will force vehicles traveling in the left hand lane to turn
left at Washington Street.
Consider adding a no right turn sign at the I-93 SB off ramp to prohibit vehicles bypassing the right
turn queue and using left turn lane to make a right turn onto Montvale Avenue westbound and have
police enforce this issue.
Consider relocating existing bus stop at the I-93/ Hill St intersection to departure side of the
westbound approach to where the existing pedestrian cross walk is located. The existing
wheelchair ramps should be updated to meet ADA compliance.
Consider providing an additional crosswalk and new ADA compliant wheelchair ramps across
Montvale Avenue at Hill Street/I-93 SB-Ramp intersection to accommodate the bus pick up and
drop offs.
Consider doing a sign inventory and removing any duplicate and confusing signs for the corridor.
As a short term measure, the City of Woburn could approach the residents of Utica Street to
consider making the Street one-way westbound to help deter traffic from using the road as a cutthrough. Pavement Markings and signage will also need to be updated to accommodate this
change. An operational and safety evaluation should be done to ensure that the new route can
accommodate the volume.
As a long term improvements, consider improving the Montvale Avenue at Washington Street
intersection to make it an easier and safer route than using Utica Street as a detour route.
As a short term measure, do not block the intersection signs could be installed at the intersection of
Central Street at Montvale Avenue to prevent vehicles from queuing through the intersection.
The City could consider applying for additional safety grants.
SafetyIssue:IntersectionGeometry
Observations
The audit team noted that the bridge on Montvale
Avenue just east of the state highway layout line is restricting any future widening. It currently carries two lane
westbound and one lane eastbound.
The audit team members noted that the existing right turn lane at Montvale Avenue and Washington Street is
only adequate for 5 cars to queue. When more than 5 cars are queued in the through lane it blocks access to the
right turn lane.
It should be noted that the right turn lane in front of the Hess Station is also where the MBTA bus stops then
Page 12 proceeds straight and needs to merge with the thru lane traffic. This also blocks vehicles that want to take a
right turn.
It was observed by the audit team that right turn traffic on the I-93 SB ramps does not yield to oncoming traffic.
Drivers tend to just “go” instead of yielding or stopping when they get to the merge point.
It was observed that vehicles cross over the double yellow center line on Montvale westbound to bypass the
through lane queue to access the left only lane at the Washington Street intersection. There were seven crashes
along the corridor that were attributed to crossing over the double yellow center line and using the westbound
approach as two lanes.
It was noted during the site visit that the right turn from Washington Street northbound to Montvale
Avenue eastbound, that the curb radius is not large enough to accommodate trucks. Truck tire tracks on
sidewalk even over wheel chair ramps were present. It was also noted that there are staggered stop lines at
this location. This was done for truck turning movements. There were three Washington Street northbound
right turn crashes that could be attributed to the improper size of the curb radii.
The audit team noted that existing railroad bridge on Montvale Avenue (approximately 750’ west of
Central Street) is restricting any future need of a larger cross section approaching Central Street.
PossibleSafetyenhancements
1. As a long term measure, the bridge on Montvale Avenue could be widened to provide a larger
cross-section between Washington Street and the Hill Street/I-93 SB off-ramp intersection.
2. As a long term measure, the bridge on Montvale Avenue over the railroad (west of Central Street)
could be widened to provide a larger cross-section approaching Central Street.
3. As a long term measure, the City of Woburn could consider buying the property or taking some of
the frontage east of the Hess Station to provide for a longer right turn lane for the westbound
approach of Montvale Avenue. This would allow vehicles traveling right onto Washington Street to
not get blocked by the through movement during peak periods.
4. Consider as a long term enhancement to make the right turn from the I-93 SB off-ramps more 90
degrees to force drivers to yield or stop to oncoming traffic.
5. Consider as a short term improvement, moving the bus stop in front of the Hess Station so it does
not block the right turn lane.
6. As a long term measure, redesign the intersection of Washington Street at Montvale Avenue to
accommodate WB-50 truck turns within the roadway and assigned lanes.
Page 13 SafetyIssue:AccessManagement
Observations
It was observed by the audit team members that
westbound drivers between the intersection of Montvale Avenue at Hill Street/I-93 SB off-ramps and
Montvale Avenue at Washington Street are using the existing pavement in several different way. Drivers were
observed using Montvale Avenue as two lanes westbound and one lane eastbound. Drivers were also observed
straddling the double yellow center line eastbound to turn left into businesses on the northern side of Montvale
Avenue. The existing paved area curb to curb was measure to be approximately 35’-4”. It is currently marked
as one wide lane in both direction. Also, drivers are straddling the existing double yellow center line to allow
for the two lanes of traffic in the westbound direction. There are 119 crashes occurring in this segment, mostly
left turns leaving businesses on the north side of Montvale Avenue. Many of these crashes are due to the
“courtesy crash” which occurs when one driver lets another driver out of a driveway/roadway but a third driver
goes around the first driver and crashes with the exiting vehicle or the “barge and block” approach where an
exiting vehicle will block one lane of traffic while waiting for a gap in traffic on the opposite approach. The
sight distance for vehicles exiting the Dunkin Donuts driveway exit is blocked by shrubs therefore requiring
drivers to pull out further to be able to see oncoming traffic. It was suggested if vehicles have two defined
lanes westbound some of the crashes maybe avoided since drivers will be aware that there is more than one
lane along the westbound approach and the signal queues from Washington Street may be shorter, then the
number of courtesy crashes may be reduced. However it was argued that with a two lane westbound
configuration speeds may increase, exiting vehicles would still have visibility issues and crashes would still
occur.
Page 14 The audit team members noted that there are no turn prohibitions at most of the driveways along the corridor. Since the majority of crashes (95/119) that occurred
along Montvale Avenue within the audit area are left turns out of driveways it was suggested that the city approach the abutters to see if they would be willing to allow right in and right outs only at their driveway. It
was also suggested to add do not block driveway signs along the corridor. There were discussions on whether or not this would be feasible since there are so many curb cuts along the corridor. Some members suggested that it might help to reduce some of the crashes by reducing the number of curb cuts along the corridor. On the
north side of Montvale Avenue where the majority of crashes occurred, there are 4 businesses and a residential driveway. Each of the businesses have two curb cuts which could possibly be reduced to a right in right out scenario. It was also noted that the proximity to I-93 probably encourages many vehicles wanting to make that left turn from these driveways. During site walk, the team watched a vehicle turn left into the Wendy’s rightin/right-out type driveway instead of taking a left at the Washington St intersection and entering the restaurant driveway from the side street. The audit team members discussed the crashes that occurred in front of the White Hen (7 Eleven)/Liquor Store
Plaza. It was noted that 17% of these crashes happened between 12 AM and 4 AM. Thirty nine (39%) of the
crashes were rear-end and 39% of the crashes were angle crashes within the vicinity of the plaza. The angle
and rear-end crashes could be contributed to the “courtesy crash” or the barge and block” crashes as explained
above.
It was observed by the audit team, that a delivery truck was parked partially on the sidewalk and partially
blocking the travel lanes.
PossibleSafetyenhancements
1. As a short term enhancement, consider the best opportunities to balance congestion and safety
concerns done in conjunction with an overall review of potential access management strategies
in regards to restriping the westbound approach of Montvale Avenue between Hill Street/I-93
SB off-ramps and Montvale Avenue at Washington Street to 2 lanes westbound and one lane
eastbound.
2. As a short term measure, restripe Montvale Avenue to one lane in each direction with wide
shoulders to discourage drivers from using Montvale Ave as a 3 to 4 lane section.
3. As a long term measure, the city could consider a public outreach to business owners along
Montvale Avenue to discuss driveway consolidation and potential for turn restrictions.
4. City could restrict truck delivery times to off peak hours as a short term measure.
5. Discussion about reducing the roadway width to a two lane roadway to eliminate the ability of
vehicles to stack up side by side; thus reducing the curtesy crashes. Discussion talked about
there being a congestion issue on Montvale Ave and the need for a four lane (2 in each
direction) roadway. Four lane roadway will potentially increase the number of curtesy crashes
Page 15 especially without the no left turn out restriction from the businesses. If a four lane roadway is
considered, a divided median should be considered.
6. As a short term measure, the Woburn Police Department could provide some additional
enforcement around the White Hen (7 Eleven)/Liquor Store Plaza.
7. Consider adding some do not block driveways signs for the businesses along the corridor as a
short term improvement.
SafetyIssue:PedestrianandBicycleAccommodation
Observations
As noted above, the bus stop at the Hill Street/I-93 Southbound off-ramps at Montvale Avenue is on the
westbound approach side of the intersection. There is currently no crosswalk across Montvale Avenue where the
bus picks up and drops off. Pedestrians have to either cross the I-93 Southbound off-ramp approach and then
cross Montvale Avenue to Hill Street within existing striped crosswalks or they cross Montvale Avenue directly
with no traffic control or formal crosswalks. It was observed that the crosswalks across Hill Street and the I-93
approach do not have any pedestrian push buttons or pedestrian signal indications. It should be noted that there
are existing wheelchair ramps with the existing crosswalks but they do not meet current ADA requirements.
It was observed by the audit team that there are no bicycle accommodation through corridor. There are currently
no marked shoulders along the Montvale Avenue.
The audit team noted, that there is numerous street furniture and signs in the existing sidewalk. This does not
allow for the proper ADA clearzone for pedestrians trying to navigate the sidewalk.
PossibleSafetyenhancements
1. As a short term improvement bicycle share the road signs can be added to the corridor although already
complaints about too many signs. Sharrows (share the road arrows) can also be considered to be
painted in lanes.
2. A long term improvement would be to provide a 5 ft. shoulder along Montvale Ave and Washington St
so bicycles would have their own lane for travel.
3. As a midterm improvement and evaluation can be done to see if any of the street furniture can be
moved out of the sidewalks to improve the ADA clearzone.
SummaryofRoadSafetyAudit
Recommendations for improving safety along this segment of Montvale Avenue are summarized in Table 2 and are categorized based on estimated safety payoff, time frame and cost for implementation. The responsible party for further action has been identified as well. Safety payoff estimates are subjective and based on the relative percent of crashes that may be reduced by Page 16 the enhancement. For major improvements, crash reduction factors are often available to assess the safety payoff; however, for many minor enhancements a more subjective evaluation is needed. To provide a general assessment of how a recommended enhancement would impact crash occurrences, countermeasures have been assigned a Low, Medium, or High value on a subjective basis using engineering judgment as it relates to potential crash reduction. Countermeasures detailed in Table 2 involve Engineering, Maintenance, Enforcement, Educational and/or Behavioral modifications that start with corridor‐wide considerations and continue with site and location‐
specific items for consideration. Selected countermeasures have been identified as potentially short‐term or intermediate (typically City or MassDOT responsibility) and/or long‐term, which would be considered as part of the TIP project (Designer responsibility). Consideration should be made as to the appropriateness of inclusion in the TIP corridor project of countermeasures as the project design advances. Improvements related to such items as signal timing, striping and signage were often assigned dual designations as they represented something that could be addressed in the near term (as appropriate and as available resources make possible) as well as part of the TIP project.

Safety Review Prompt List
2014 Traffic Volume Networks
Speed Regulations
Safety Review Prompt List
�
The Safety Review Prompt List provides basic safety-related questions to use when evaluating a given
roadway location. The prompt list should be considered when evaluating a roadway to design improvements or conduct a Road Safety Audit. The primary purpose of the prompt list is to identify potential
road safety hazards. The list is meant to be general and should be used to prompt an evaluator as to
specific matters identified in the field that may have an adverse effect on road safety. The Safety Review
Prompt List is not a check of compliance with design standards.
This Prompt List represents the minimum that should be considered when exploring safety opportunities
and is not intended to address all aspects of safety.
A summary of the responses should be prepared to highlight potential safety improvement opportunities.
Speed
° Are posted speed limits consistent with speed regulations; are they adequate?
° Are design features consistent with the posted speed (passing opportunities, sight distance,
warning signs for horizontal and vertical curves, clearance intervals, sign placement, etc.)
° Are adequate controls in place for driver compliance with speed limits?
Multi-modal
° Have accommodations been provided for safe movement of pedestrians, bicycles, emergency
vehicles, public transportation, and commercial vehicles?
° What design features could be improved, added, or removed to enhance the safe mobility of the
various modes?
Pavement Markings
° Are there highly visible and retro reflective edge lines, center lines, and other pavement
markings?
° Do the pavement markings provide sufficient guidance to the road users? Can the placement
of the pavement markings be modified to improve guidance to road users?
Signs
° Are all signs retro reflective and visible for all roadway conditions, including placed free from
obstructions?
° Are signs located to maximize perception and reaction while minimizing intrusion in clear zones?
° Does the signage provide adequate guidance to road users for given road conditions?
° Are pavement markings and signs consistent in effectively guiding road users?
Intersection Control
° Do all signs (stop signs, lane assignments, street names, etc.) provide visible, clear,
�
non-conflicting messages?
�
° Is there clear, non-conflicting visibility of traffic control (signal heads, signs, and markings) from
all approach lanes?
° Has the potential of misrepresentation of intersection control been considered (at closely spaced
intersections or through control that is against expectation)?
° For signalized intersections, have the implications on safety been considered for the signal
�
phasing?
�
° Is there a safe means by which all modes can travel through the intersection?
Lighting
° Is lighting (from headlights and/or streetlights) adequate for specific roadway conditions and/or
use?
° If glare exists from sunlight or opposing headlights, are there countermeasures that can be
�
implemented to minimize potentially detrimental effects?
�
Obstructions
° Are there obstructions to sight lines or roadway guidance (signs, markings, etc.) that can be
�
removed, relocated, or minimized as part of this project?
�
° If obstructions or fixed objects exist but cannot be moved, can they be shielded (with guardrails,
etc.) or delineated (with reflectors) to improve road user safety? If so, what can be done?
Pavement
° Could the condition of the pavement impact mobility and safety (potholes, edge drop-offs, skid
resistance, etc)?
° What improvements can be made to minimize safety impacts?
Access Points and Traffic Generators
° Is the access control sufficient for the road’s function?
° Are site access points located to maximize safety while still providing adequate access?
° Have impacts of site developments been adequately accommodated for safe mobility of all
�
road users?
�
Parking
° Is parking clearly delineated and in conformance with signs, markings, and regulations?
° Might parking obstruct mobility/safety of pedestrians and other roadway users?
Weather Conditions
° Have accommodations been made for impacts from adverse weather condition (storage of snow,
removal of ponding, adequate drainage, signage of low salt areas, maintenance program for
snow removal, and catch basin clearing, etc.)?
Auxiliary Lanes
° Could taper locations and/or alignments contribute to safety challenges?
° Could lack of climbing lanes or passing zones cause driver frustration?
° Do acceleration/deceleration lane lengths necessitate additional signage and/or markings?
Animals
° Do animal migrations impact safety?
° Can measures be taken to reduce animal-vehicle conflicts?
