A highway corridor in northwestern Oregon, encompassing portions of State Routes 18 and 22 and known as "Blood Alley," was notorious for its number of traffic fatalities and crashes. This stretch of highway has seen a dramatic drop in such incidents during the past 3 years due to largely to an innovative public-private partnership. This partnership, described in this article, drew together the Oregon Department of Transportation, 3 northwest Oregon counties, a community traffic safety committee, and a Native American tribal group to reduce the high percentage of cross-median traffic accidents in Blood Alley through a combination of education, enforcement, and engineering. |
