Greater Greater Washington reports that DDOT has at last installed “quick curbs” at one corner of the intersection of 15th and W Streets NW, where a pedestrian was killed in May. The intersection is famously dangerous and confusing for pedestrians and drivers alike, as it also meets Florida Ave. in a jumble of diverging one-way traffic patterns. The “quick curbs” are plastic markers designed to steer traffic farther away from pedestrians. Other work that’s been completed at the intersection includes a “Turn on Green Arrow Only” sign to prevent drivers from turning right on red onto W Street. GGW also says DDOT tells them that more quick curbs for the remainder of the intersection are scheduled to be installed, as are signal improvements for pedestrians.
