Town of Cave Creek Safety Audits
We performed safety audits at several of the Town’s roads and intersections, including Cave Creek Rd, School House Rd and Spur Cross Rd among others.
Many of these roads crossed multi-use trails with both pedestrian and equestrian activity, a distinct feature of the Town. Elements evaluated during these site visits included visibility and stopping sight distance at driveways and intersections, visibility of pedestrians and equestrian traffic at trail crossings from the road and vice-versa, adequacy of stop, yield, and warning signs, visibility across crest curves, guard rail installations adjacent to steep drops, the need for breakaway sign posts, and clear zone encroachments. All recommended countermeasures took into account the need to maintain the rugged, mountainous aesthetics of Cave Creek. |
