Another SDOT project for Highland Park Way: Traction improvement
SDOT received a $10 million federal grant to improve traction on four city roads, including Highland Park Way between SW Holden St and W Marginal Way SW. The project aims to increase pavement friction to prevent cars from skidding into people or buildings during rain. The upgrade will be done at four locations with a history of such crashes. The Federal Highway Administration estimates that high-friction pavement reduces the risk of crashes on wet pavement by 83% and all crashes by 57%.
