Damascus Area Safety Upgrades

Update and enhance curve warning signs on 222nd Dr. and Wiese Road and add overhead flashing beacon at intersection of 222nd Dr. and Tillstrom Road.

Intersection safety upgrades were made at 13 intersections using oversized advance warning signs on both sides of street, stop signs on both sides of street, with added reflective sheeting on sign posts, enhanced pavement markings, raised pavement markers and delineators.

These safety improvements were recommended in a Road Safety Audit conducted in 2017 and are expected to provide:

• Updated curve warning signs: 16% crash reduction for road departure crashes 
• Basic intersection upgrades: 20–30% crash reduction for all crash types 

The traffic safety team  assessed and determined proper curve advisory speeds to post along each road segment where curve warning signs were installed.
