  The Department conducted field reviews at all of the Carytown intersections. The signalized intersections on the corridor create gaps in vehicle traffic for people crossing Cary St at unsignalized intersections. Because of the visibility of crosswalks, regular presence of foot traffic, and the gaps in vehicular traffic, the Department does not plan to install additional signs. Speeding is a citywide problem. The Department has timed the signals for vehicles to progress at 25 mph, installed several bump-outs, installed "stop for pedestrian" signs, installed speed tables. More bump-outs and speed tables are planned for 2024 and 2025. We encourage neighbors and other concerned stakeholders to work collectively to: - grow a safety culture within the neighborhood and community gathering places; - increase driver awareness of people walking, biking and riding transit; and - promote safe driving practices by educating drivers about the posted speed limit and why speeding impacts the most vulnerable users.
