title: No more blood on the sidewalk
creator: Donahue, Finnegan
description: Despite being known as a city with safe roads, the Dutch city of Groningen has a known  black spot. The Boterdiep/Korreweg/Rodeweg intersection is a chaotic, unclear, and often  dangerous collection of roads, signs, and crossings. In the interest of promoting Healthy  City goals, a redesign is attempted, prioritizing pedestrian- and bicyclist-friendly design  and walkability. This is done while maintaining the current purpose of the intersection,  an essential corridor for moving people and goods between the city center, surrounding  residential neighborhoods, and outlying communities. Several design options are explored,  including shared space models, raising pedestrian crossings, adjusting the geometry of  roadways, and removing car access from road sections. The final design offers a combination  of the aforementioned elements, potentially offering more protection to non-motorized traffic  such as pedestrians and bicyclists. This redesign creates some spillover of negative traffic  effects to nearby intersections, however the trade-off is considered to be acceptable.
