Intersection daylighting
Intersection daylighting, or simply daylighting, is an urban design strategy to enhance safety at intersections by improving visibility.[1][2][3]. Daylighting removes obstructions that prevent drivers from seeing other cars, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other road users. An example of daylighting is to replace parking near the intersection with a curb extension.
Motivation
[edit]The majority of crashes between cars and bicycles occur at intersections.[4]
