High-Injury Network Corridor Safety Audits

Vision Zero safety audits are conducted on Arlington’s High-Injury Network corridors. Our High-Injury Network (HIN) includes corridors in Arlington that have recently experienced concentrations of critical crashes. Arlington’s High Injury Network represents just 7% of over 555 miles of roadway in the County, but these corridors saw 78% of all serious or fatal crashes in 2017-2019. Staff are prioritizing audits on corridors where there are upcoming/ongoing projects (to assist in coordination on safety features in these projects) and on corridors adjacent to areas identified by equity data (income + race).

The purpose of the audits is to visit each High Injury Network corridor to identify:

Quick-build projects that we can implement quickly to improve safety,
Existing/upcoming projects occurring on the corridor and how they will help address safety, and
Other opportunities or needs to enhance safety for consideration for future capital projects or plans.

HIN safety audits are not intended to fix all safety needs immediately. Rather, they are a strategy for staff to identify safety needs that we can address quickly and safety needs that we can begin to plan to address on a larger scale.

Upcoming HIN Safety Audits

Below is the tentative timeline for safety audits of the 2023 High-Injury Network. The schedule order takes into consideration: crash severity, upcoming/ongoing site development, upcoming/ongoing capital projects, recently implemented projects, and coordination with nearby plans or studies:
