This report documents the process and findings of the G Street and Kensington Avenue Road Safety Audits undertaken by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC). The report details safety issues identified by the audit team over two days at the study corridors, as well as remedial strategies to address them. The goal of this audit was to identify safety issues and generate improvement recommendations for the study area in an effort to reduce crashes and improve conditions. Emphasis is placed on identifying low-cost, quick-turnaround safety projects to address the identified issues, where possible. This project represents a step toward implementation of DVRPC’s Safety Action Plan. Implementation of improvement strategies may be eligible for Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program Funds.
