Title: Safety Analysis of On-Street Parking on an Urban Principal Arterial
Accession Number: 01628223
Record Type: Component
Abstract: This study analyzes the effect of on-street parking on crash rates along an urban principal arterial. The goal of urban principal arterials is to provide high mobility to a large volume of traffic. Accommodating on-street parking on a roadway of this classification presents additional safety concerns. The corridor of interest, Perring Parkway/Hillen Rd., in Baltimore, Maryland is a high-speed 6-lane divided arterial that services Morgan State University. This active corridor is a major route for not only traveling students, but also many of the residents and commuters of the Baltimore City metropolitan area. The study site consists of a 1.0-mile portion with limited entry and parking restriction, a 1.3-mile segment along a major university with frequent parking maneuvers, and lastly an 0.8-mile residential and recreation segment. The study found that on-street parking increases crash rates due to sight distance hindrances at intersections and along horizontal curves.
