What is an Road Safety Audit (RSA)?
CAIT’s Transportation Safety Resource Center (TSRC) offers a statewide Road Safety Audit (RSA) service at no charge to New Jersey towns and counties. Interested parties can request RSA surveys conducted by a team of engineers, planners, and law-enforcement officers to help municipalities and counties make cost-effective safety improvements.
A multidisciplinary team of professionals offers assessments on roadway issues such as pedestrian and bicycle safety, intersection analyses, rural roads, human factors, speed management, and sign visibility and retrore-flectivity standards.
RSAs include data-driven considerations and analysis of crashes. To determine the best safety solutions, RSA professionals perform incisive crash data evaluations on the target area using Plan4Safety, TSRC’s award-win-ning crash database and software.
The RSA team provides a final report that includes long- and short-term countermeasure recommendations that fit within the requestor’s budget. Furthermore, RSAs pay off. According to the Federal Highway Adminis-tration (FHWA), countermeasures applied after RSAs can reduce crashes by about 60 percent.

Executive Summary
A Upper Journal Square road safety audit (RSA) was conducted along JFK Boulevard from Pavonia Avenue to St. Paul’s Avenue on April 28, 2015. The RSA is a continuation the 2014 Journal Square RSA for Hudson County. A section of the corridor lies within NJTPA’s highest-ranked pedestrian corridor and two of the intersections have high “spot” rankings.
Journal Square area is a high-traffic zone for car, bus, rail, foot, and bicycle traffic alike due to its proximity to the Pulaski Skyway, its PATH station, and areas of commercial, office and residential zones. Vehicular traffic is especially high during the morning and afternoon rush hours.
The corridor’s cross section varies, but is generally 2 lanes wide in each direction with curbside parking north of Van Winkle Avenue/Brooks Place. South of the intersection, a third southbound lane is added. At Pavonia Avenue, a fourth lane is added southbound and a third lane from the south terminates. Of the six intersections in the RSA corridor, Van Reipen Avenue is the only unsignalized intersection. Sidewalks exist along the entirety of the corridor, though there are no bicycle facilities.
The following crashes were overrepresented:
• Temporal:morningandeveningrushhours,severalweekdays,September–February• Type:Samedirection(bothrearendandsideswipe),Leftturn/u-turn,andPedestrian• Conditions:Daylight;Wetsurfaces
The following general issues were observed:

1.1 Site Selection
>> 1.0 Corridor Description and Analysis
The Upper Journal Square RSA is a continuation of the Journal Square RSA* conducted in September 2014 along the same corridor, Kennedy Boulevard. The Upper Journal Square RSA began at the intersection of Pavonia Avenue and continues north to the intersection of St. Paul’s Avenue.
The Upper Journal Square RSA is located in the northern section of the NJTPA’s highest ranked pedestrian corridor. There are two pedestrian “spots,” the Hudson County #11-ranked spot at the Newark Avenue intersection and the Hudson County #27-ranked spot at the St. Paul’s Avenue intersection. The St. Paul’s Avenue intersection is also the location of Hudson County’s #10-ranked “intersection” spot.
Because the RSA is located in a pedestrian corridor, the entirety of the Pavonia Avenue to St. Paul’s Avenue segment was analyzed during the RSA.

1.2 Traffic Volumes
The most recent and geographically-close traffic counts for Kennedy Boulevard are 0.85 miles south of the Pavonia Avenue intersection, at Duncan Avenue, where there were approximately 19,000 vehicles a day. Anecdotally, the area is heavily congested during peak hours. According to locals, off-peak hours and weekends the is noticeably less-congested.
It was observed that foot traffic is quite heavy, especially on weekends near the commercial enterprises on Newark Avenue and Sundays near the church at northeast corner of the Pavonia Avenue intersection.
Significant bicycle traffic was observed as well. There are no recorded counts, though based on the heavily-utilized bike rack at the Journal Square station, it would seem that there is a sizable population that bike commutes to the station.
*The 2014 RSA at Journal Square ran from Bergen Avenue to Sip Avenue. There was also a 2013 RSA further south along Kennedy Boulevard from Montgomery Street to Communipaw Avenue.

1.3 Transit Service
Nearly half of Jersey City residents rely on public transportation for their work commute. The Journal Square area has high public transit use due to its proximity to the PATH station. Many people use the Kennedy Boulevard corridor to walk, bicycle or bus to the PATH station. There are also many through-routes that connect the Journal Square area to the rest of Jersey City and the surrounding region. Running the entire length of the corridor are three NJ Transit buses, as well as two lines that travel northbound until Newark Avenue where they turn to travel eastbound.
1.4 Area Characteristics
The Journal Square area of Jersey City is centered around the Port Authority’s Journal Square PATH station. The main thoroughfare is Kennedy Boulevard, also known as county road 501. Kennedy Boulevard runs continuously for approximately 12.5 miles from Bayonne northwards to North Bergen. Journal Square is bordered by the Pulaski Skyway/Route 139/Routes 1 & 9 north and east of the study area.
The neighborhood is mostly residential on the side streets with smaller commercial units along Kennedy Boulevard and Newark Avenue. Kennedy Boulevard takes on a more neighborhood mixed use character north of Van Winkle Avenue with preservation zones beginning northeast of Van Winkle with the St. John the Baptist Church and Golden Door Charter School. Northwest of St. Paul’s Avenue is another preservation zone in which Public School #31 is located. At the southern end of the corridor, there is high density office space at the Pavonia Avenue intersection as well as the well-attended Jersey City Assembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses church.
Complete Streets: Both Jersey City and Hudson County have established Complete Streets policies that support safe and accessible roads for all users, including pedestrians and cyclists. The 2008 Hudson County Master Plan also explicitly supports pedestrian and bicycle facilities in their Circulation Goals 10 and 11:
Goal 10: To promote a pedestrian-first approach in downtown areas.
Goal 11: To provide pedestrian and bicycle access along all roadways, particularly those roads that lead residents to job centers.

Journey to Work
Figure 3 – Journey to Work Figure 4 – Area Bus TransitAt least five other bus lines also pass through the Pavonia Avenue intersection to pick up passengers at the Journal Square bus terminal.
Jersey City’s modal split differs greatly from the rest of New Jersey. At the state level, 11 percent of people commute via public transit, and over 70 percent drive alone, whereas in Jersey City, nearly one-half of people use public transit and only one-third drive alone.1 The increased frequency of workers using public transit has many implications for the transportation network, but in terms of safety, it is important to understand that transit users are also typically pedestrians for a time, especially near a large transit hub like Journal Square. When added to the actual number of people who walk to work, we see that Jersey City has over half of its population traveling by foot at some point in their daily commute to work. This high number of pedestrians does not account for all of the students who walk or take the bus to the area’s various primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, and institutes.

Sidewalks exist along the entirety of the corridor.
In terms of bicycle accommodations Journal Square Area has noticeably fewer facilities than parts of Jersey City north and east of the neighborhood, as seen in figure 5. On-road facilities are proposed on Summit Avenue, the street immediately east of Kennedy Boulevard, though as of yet, nothing has been constructed.
In terms of transit, the Journal Square 2060 Plan Circulation Map shows that Kennedy Boulevard operations may someday include a streetcar, street widening on Pavonia Avenue and an expanded pedestrian area over the rail tracks.
Incoming developments: Journal Square will be home to several new residential and commercial buildings in the next several years. For example, phase one of the 1,840-unit Journal Squared complex is expected to be completed in mid-2016. New residential developments will especially impact traffic patterns, creating an increase in the number of pedestrians during non-peak hours (as compared with the current abundance of daytime commuters). Furthermore, Jersey City seeks to become more sustainable, encouraging transit-friendly development and “[...] reducing parking to limit traffic congestion and effects on air quality, requiring bicycle parking and wider sidewalks to limit automobile use, and promote alternative modes, requiring retail uses along pedestrian corridors to create an enjoyable and safe neighborhood environment...”2 The ideas are supported in the recommendation of the RSA team.

2.1 Temporal Trends
>> 2.0 Crash Findings
In terms of time of day (figure 8), crashes were over-represented during the 8 to 9 o’clock AM hours , the noon hour, and between 3 and 8 p.m. Crashes occurred most frequently on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays with below-average representation over the weekend (figure 9). The time of day patterns and day of week crashes correlate slightly with the rush hour, weekday traffic.
When compared with county-wide data, the corridor’s three-year crash data had a slight over-representation of crashes occurring in 2012 (figure 10). There was also a slightly higher proportion of crashes occurring between September and February (figure 11).

When looking at crash type trends, the following were found to be over-represented in the dataset when compared with county-wide crash percentages (figure 13):
• Left-turn/U-turn:>2.5timesmorelikely• SameDirection–RearEnd:1.5timesmorelikely• SameDirection–SideSwipe:2.2timesmorelikely• Pedestrian:1.6timesmorelikely
In terms of injury trends, the bicycle/pedestrian crashes were the most severe. Every single bicycle or pedestrian crashes resulted in an injury, whereas at the county level, slightly fewer (87%) bicycle or pedestrian crashes resulted in injury.

2.3 Roadway Surface and Lighting Conditions
Wet roadway conditions, accounted for slightly more crashes than dry roadways when compared to countywide data. Typical contributing factors to wet roadway crashes reduced friction, reduced visibility or obstruction of lanes due to pooling rainwater.
In terms of light condition, crashes tended to occur more predominantly during daylight hours when compared with countywide data, possibly indicating that lighting is not necessarily an issue. The overrepresented percentage of daylight crashes may also be because the roadway experiences more daytime commuter traffic.
