Summary of Improvements

  • Pedestrians need to cross Hwy 101 at designated locations for their safety. By directing pedestrians to crossings that are visible to vehicular traffic, safety can be enhanced to both the pedestrian and the driver. The City proposes to install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at three locations along the busy Hwy 101 corridor in the central downtown South Bend business district.
