1 in 5 fatal or severe crashes in Arlington involves alcohol. Drunk driving crashes are at least twice as likely to result in a serious outcome. Think before you drink and encourage others around you to do the same. Learn more about Arlington’s Vision Zero Critical Crash Campaign here.
The Vision Zero Team identified the following three High-Injury Network (HIN) corridors for safety audits to be initiated in summer 2022:
-
S Four Mile Run Dr (Columbia Pike to S Walter Reed Dr): Assessment of this segment will provide a baseline for an upcoming repaving effort and allows for continuation of the 2021 Safety Audit of S Four Mile Run Dr that occurred from Shirlington Rd to S Walter Reed Dr.
-
N Carlin Springs Rd (N Glebe Rd to N Edison St): Assessment of this segment ties into an ongoing analysis at the hot spot at N Carlin Springs Rd & N Glebe Rd, as well as ongoing community requests on N Carlin Springs Rd.
-
S Glebe Rd (24th St S to Route 1/Richmond Hwy): Assessment of this segment will provide a baseline for an upcoming capital project and inform safety needs as project plans ramp up.

The Vision Zero team collected feedback on the Multimodal Engineering Safety Toolbox in Winter 2022 via public meeting, online form, and direct correspondence with staff. Findings from the engagement include:
- Most people found the format clear.
- Respondents were split as to whether the content was useful. Some wanted to see more detail while others felt the document was too long.
- Many suggested enhancements the summary chart so that readers could easily compare and contrast different tools.
- The majority of respondents felt better images or videos of how the tools work would make the content easier to understand.
The final draft of the Toolbox is expected in late summer 2022. Based on the feedback we received, it will:
- Include more Arlington-specific images and user-friendly language.
- Have a revised summary table with selected information about each tool.
- Better explain the process for selecting and implementing the tools.
- Specify how the County plans to measure the efficacy of selected tools over time, with the possibility of incorporating a note on the cost-benefit analysis of tools.
- Feature additional tools and more details on tools that were previously grouped together.
