A Raised Median <br />reduces the number of potential conflict points with designated <br />zones for vehicles to turn, and a pedestrian refuge island <br />reduces the exposure for pedestrians crossing the intersection. <br />Pedestrian refuge areas constructed from paint and plastic may <br />be implemented as part of a low-cost/quick build project. <br />Cost $$ <br />Low Cost / Quick Build alternative available <br />LRSM ID NS19PB <br />INTERSECTIONS & ROADWAYS <br />SAFE SYSTEM HIERARCHY <br />Remove Severe <br />Conflicts <br />Reduce Vehicle <br />Speeds <br />Refuge Island <br />Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 <br />Raised Median <br />Refuge Island <br />25Kittitas County | Snoqualmie Pass Comprehensive Safety Plan | Appendix J: Countermeasures Toolbox
