Chicago motorists will begin to notice new safety features at 15 locations around the city to make crosswalks safer for pedestrians and reduce the chance of crashes.
Following a pilot program in 2019, the Chicago Department of Transportation began installing the new traffic-calming treatments which alter the path motorists make left-hand turns at city intersections, officials said Friday.
According to CDOT data, motorists who were making left-hand turns were involved in 40 percent of crashes where a pedestrian was seriously injured or killed at an intersection in Chicago from 2017 to 2021.
