Chicago is taking steps to prevent accidents with 'traffic calming,' which involves adding larger speed bumps and bollards near crosswalks.
It's called "traffic calming," and it involves adding larger speed bumps and bollards along the center line near a crosswalk.
Plans call for changing even more intersections this year, focusing on sites with high rates of accidents involving drivers turning left. The traffic calming is just another component of the city's Vision Zero safety campaign, begun in 2017 with the goal of eliminating traffic fatalities in the city by 2026.
The Transportation Department sought recommendations from City Council members to help decide which high-risk intersections to modify first.
