Existing Traffic Incident Data:

  • Southbound at Oxford Road - There was one broadside type crash in the five-year study period. This involved an eastbound vehicle that failed to yield the right-of-way to southbound traffic when crossing CO 119
  • Northbound at 83rd Street - The crash data indicated that seven of the crashes involved eastbound vehicles on North 83rd Street failing to yield the right-of-way to northbound traffic when crossing CO 119 after stopping at the stop sign in the median: all five broadside crashes, the bicycle crash, and the sideswipe (opposite direction) crash

Proposed Improvements and Future Considerations:

  • Difficult to implement a right-in/right-out at this location due to intersection configuration and out of direction travel distances
  • Extending deceleration lanes on CO 119 to meet State Highway Access code criteria improves safety
  • LED flashing stop sign will help alert drivers approaching the intersection
  • Future consideration: If the observed pattern of crashes persists or worsens, consider signalizing the 83rd Street/Northbound CO 119 intersections if warrants are met
